Do you want to work as a chef at Junibacken preschool?

Do you want to work at a small preschool located centrally in Öster, where you see climate-smart food as an important part of the preschool's work and where children are engaged in issues related to diet, sustainability, and the environment together with you and the educators? Then you might be the one we are looking for. Warm welcome to become a part of our team!

About the position

Welcome to Junibacken preschool!

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. The number of children changes from day to day, so it is an advantage if you can easily adapt to changing circumstances and the needs of the operation.
