Are you a trained chef who is passionate about serving delicious, nutritious, inspiring, and health-promoting meals to your guests? Do you also like the idea of offering this to the most important guests you can have? Then this is the job for you!

Järven Preschool is located in the residential area of Skogalundsklippan. We are a preschool that focuses on the best interests of children and offers educational environments that allow children to meet, explore, play, and be inspired. At Järven, dedicated educators encourage and support each child's ability, desire, and willingness to learn and develop.

Food is so much more than just nutrition! You will be offered a clear introduction from our central meal group, which will also support you with menu suggestions, ingredient selection, and purchasing questions when and if you need it.

We also offer professional development in your field several times a year, as well as networking meetings with other chefs in the same role as yours. In addition, you will have the opportunity to work with and for fantastic children who are very interested in food and who, together with the educators and the chef at the preschool, work with meal pedagogy.
