About the workplace

Mejeriet Preschool is relatively newly built and started in September 2018, located at the bottom of an apartment building at the newly built Mejeritorget in the north, right by Svampen. At Mejeriet, there are four departments: yellow, blue, green, and red. Today, we have two departments with younger children and two departments with older children. We have a large yard and are close to parks and forests. Both preschool teachers and childcare workers work in the departments. We also have Finnish-speaking staff.

We have a production kitchen where our chef prepares all meals from scratch. The food is made from organic and locally grown products as much as possible and is served in our communal dining room.

Within the Preschool and Primary School Administration, approximately 4530 employees work. We meet the young residents of Örebro from their first day in preschool to their last day in primary school.

We are jointly responsible for creating equal opportunities for the young residents of Örebro and laying the foundation for a lifelong learning experience. With trust and courage, we build our preschools and schools together. We take on the challenges of the future, for the benefit of every child.

We are looking for an independent and confident chef. You take responsibility for your tasks and can plan, organize, and prioritize your work effectively. You are well aware of what constitutes quality in your work and strive to live up to this.

We consider it a given that you collaborate well with other staff and that you engage with the children and their interest in food. We welcome new ideas in your work. Furthermore, you must have a good command of the Swedish language so that you can communicate with children, guardians, and colleagues both in writing and verbally. The role requires good computer skills as you will be making digital orders, searching for information on the intranet, and recipes in the food data system, among other tasks.

We place great importance on personal suitability.
