Ambitious Head Chef Wanted at JENSEN Campus Bro Mälarstrand

JENSEN Campus Bro Mälarstrand is now looking for an ambitious head chef with an interest in healthy food! In 2020, we started a brand new primary school and preschool by Kvarnsjön, in Botkyrka municipality. Here, you will help create a school restaurant where healthy, delicious, and nutritious food is served to primary school students as well as our educators and teachers, laying the foundation for many children's lifelong healthy eating habits.

What We Are Looking For

We are now looking for someone with a passionate interest in good, varied, and healthy food from scratch. You want to give students the opportunity for new taste experiences and a feeling that food is both fun and tasty, and plays a significant role in health!

The work in the kitchen is both independent and social; you will be involved in cooking as well as being out in the dining room to talk about the food in an engaging way! You are an important person, and you should feel like a part of JENSEN. As a chef, you are creative and full of ideas, and you enjoy preparing delicious healthy food. You are responsible and can easily communicate with both children and adults. Previous experience in large-scale kitchens is an advantage. You actively work to reduce food waste, increase the proportion of organic food, and develop school meals.

We are looking for an ambitious and communicative head chef who has good leadership skills and a positive approach to managing work. Your background should include at least a 3-year high school education in the food program/chef training with at least five years of experience in the profession. We expect you to be fluent in Swedish, both spoken and written.

In your role as head chef, you will drive your team forward, plan menus, manage orders, and ensure that guidelines within the operational area are followed. You will be responsible for ensuring that work related to self-control and HACCP is conducted according to laws and regulations.

You should have knowledge of special diets, safe food handling, and the requirements of the school law regarding nutritious food. You should create a developing and sustainable work environment in the kitchen within set frameworks.

Furthermore, you need to have a good overall understanding and see good service to diners as a given. We expect you to treat colleagues and diners in a pleasant and professional manner. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability. You should also have good computer skills.

What We Offer

As a head chef with us, you have a free and independent role; you will create the menu based on existing guidelines. You and your team will prepare lunch and snacks and manage the kitchen. We offer work clothes and wellness benefits.
