Job Description

As a cook, you will work in Gävle Municipality's preschools with cooking facilities, where you are responsible for preparing nutritious and varied food from scratch. You will mainly follow the regular chef's planning, but there may also be occasions where you plan menus and order supplies yourself.

Your work contributes to giving the children a positive meal experience, and you are an important part of the daily activities at the preschool. This means that you also ensure that the food complies with applicable guidelines for special diets and food hygiene.

Geographically, you will work at preschools within all of Gävle Municipality's preschool areas. Therefore, it is important that you are flexible and can easily adapt to different workplaces and kitchen environments.

Qualifications

To be eligible for the position as a cook, you need to have a high school diploma from the restaurant program or another education that the employer deems equivalent.

Experience working in preschool kitchens with planning, purchasing, and cooking meals from scratch is advantageous. We prefer that you have knowledge of nutritious meals, special diets, vegetarian options, and sustainable cooking from an environmental perspective.

You have a good ability to plan and organize your work. You can set goals, use resources efficiently, and follow up and complete activities. Technical proficiency is important as orders and receipt of goods are done digitally.

You need to be able to read, understand, and communicate in Swedish to assimilate information about work environment, cleaning routines, instructions, safety regulations, and product descriptions.

Please attach relevant certificates and grades to your application.
