We are looking for substitute cooks in Hässleholm Municipality!

Are you passionate about food, meals, and interpersonal connections? Do you want to work with freedom under responsibility and have an eye for service and problem-solving? Then you could be our next star! We are currently seeking substitute cooks who want to join us on our journey to create positive dining experiences for our children in preschool, students in school, and care recipients in Hässleholm Municipality.

Welcome to become a part of our meal family in Hässleholm Municipality.

What we offer you

With us, you will have an inspiring and developing job where you contribute to joy in food, health, and sustainability every day. You will be an important part of a dedicated organization that is passionate about good meals, community, and quality.

Here, you will meet engaged colleagues, a good working environment, and a place where your passion for food can thrive. We prepare as much food as possible from scratch and take pride in every meal we serve.

We want children, youth, and the elderly to feel the love for food – we cook with heart, care, and respect for every age and need. Every meal should evoke safety, joy, and curiosity, whether served in preschool, school, or care. Our food is recognizable, enjoyable, and beneficial for our guests, while we inspire new flavors and joy in food throughout life.

This is a position for you who have worked as a cook for a few years and want to continue developing in the service of public meals and create the best conditions for our citizens. Here, you will have the opportunity to inspire others, share your knowledge, and learn new things in an organization that values both craftsmanship and heart. Through your commitment and competence, you have good opportunities to grow further. With us, a first assignment can be the start of something long-term; many of our employees began as substitutes.

As a cook, you will be responsible for the preparation and serving of meals and special diets, as well as self-control, dishwashing, cleaning, and some administrative tasks. You have a sustainable approach and use the organization’s resources wisely and effectively. Through various forums, you will also have the opportunity to influence and develop your work.

You will be a substitute intermittently, which means you will be employed with an hourly wage. Start date according to agreement. Weekend work may occur within care.

Hässleholm Municipality aims to create the best conditions for a sustainable working life so that you can thrive, feel good, and experience joy at work. An important part is to offer good benefits to our employees, such as wellness grants, even for our hourly employees.

Who are you

We are looking for someone with a culinary education or other training that the employer considers relevant, or alternatively work experience that meets the educational requirement. You have basic digital competence and understanding, which means you can easily engage with various operational systems. To communicate, read, and understand work instructions, you need to master Swedish in both speech and writing.

Experience with dietary data systems and e-commerce systems is an advantage. We prefer that you have a B driver's license and access to a car, as we have kitchens throughout the municipality, and some are difficult to reach without a car.

As a substitute with us, you will have the chance to make a real difference – you spread joy, security, and appetite where you are needed most. You are engaged, quality-conscious, and positive, with the ability to inspire colleagues and find creative solutions. You are responsible, self-driven, and service-oriented, valuing collaboration and quality highly – something that is evident in your work style and approach. The job requires good physical condition and the ability to handle heavier lifts.

As an employee of Hässleholm Municipality, we are part of a whole and a corporation. This means that our actions affect how the outside world perceives our workplace and Hässleholm Municipality. We see you as an important contributing force to embody our employee and leadership policy. You have a value base that aligns with ours and can be a bearer of the culture we want in our organization.
