Chef at Stockholm City Mission in Sörmland

Stockholm City Mission has a farm in Sörmland that is primarily used for camp activities for youth and families, but also for retreats for adults and seniors, as well as internal conferences. For at least 16 days in April and May, and during a total of six camp periods of 7 days each in the summer, children, youth, parents, adults, and seniors will experience spring and summer at its best. Would you like to be part of this unique experience? We are now looking for a chef!

As a chef, you will be offered a developing job where you prepare and serve delicious and nutritious meals to the participants in various activities at the farm. Your work will be varied with all common kitchen tasks - menu planning, ordering goods through Menigo as well as through Stockholm City Mission's food bank, cooking, dishwashing, and self-checks.

During the camp weeks, you will prepare and serve lunch and dinner for about 80 people per day. You will have two to three volunteers to assist with preparations, serving, and dishwashing. Meals and food are a central part of the camp experience, as many children and families attending the camp live in vulnerable situations and may struggle to afford food in their daily lives.

We organize camps during six periods, and you need to be able to work at least two of these; see further down in the ad for the applicable periods. In addition to the camp periods below, we also need a chef for at least 16 days during the spring. These occasions are aimed at groups of about 10-25 people who will be served breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner with accompanying dessert. During these occasions, you will have a volunteer or host to assist with preparations, serving, and dishwashing. We are in an expansion phase where we are working to increase the number of activities at the farm, so the hope is that we will have at least the same occupancy during the fall of 2025 and will also need a chef then.

We are looking for someone who has ongoing or completed secondary or adult education in hotel and restaurant management, or equivalent work experience as assessed by the employer. It is an advantage if you have experience working in social or educational activities, as well as experience working in a large kitchen.

You have a great interest in cooking. To succeed in this role, you must be responsible, creative, flexible, able to handle a high pace, and enjoy working in a team and leading others. You have a good attitude towards colleagues and participants. Furthermore, you have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written. Of course, you identify with the values of Stockholm City Mission.

Requirements:

• Knowledge and experience in preparing special diets
• Knowledge and experience in self-control

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience cooking for children and youth
• Experience working at a camp
• Driver's license and experience driving a car

Camp periods are:

• Period 1: 23/6 - 29/6

• Period 5: 29/7 - 4/8
• Period 6: 7/8-14/8
