A range of quality own-brand and high street restaurants and cafés, mixed with great food, family-friendly menus, and a generous sprinkling of excellent service. That's the recipe for success in our Food and Beverage department. Around each village, the Food and Beverage department employs around 350 team members across multiple different restaurants, cafés, and bars, as well as a production kitchen. From American grills to authentic Indian cuisine, or for those wanting a relaxing drink after a busy day, there's something to suit all appetites at Center Parcs.

KITCHEN ASSISTANT / COMMIS CHEF | €13.70 per hour plus tips

All colleagues working in our restaurants, cafés and bars will benefit from the discretionary service charge we add to bills. The majority of our guests are happy to reward our colleagues for their excellent service.

We are looking for a Kitchen Assistant / Commis Chef to join our friendly team. In this role, you will have the chance to learn and progress from the ground floor up, helping with the preparation, cooking and presentation of food. Working to the highest standards and in an environment that combines popular menus and quality food with the very best in service.

The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate the ability to work as part of a team and the desire to learn and develop. Previous experience within a kitchen environment would be desirable but not essential as full training will be provided.
