Vacant job

We are now looking for you with an interest in cooking and service who wants to further develop in this area for our summer camp. We will train you, so no formal education is required; however, we value your interest in cooking, your ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, and your desire to help develop our operations. We believe you are a natural leader in the kitchen and dining room, used to taking initiative and working in a structured manner, and you enjoy being in an environment where children and young people make up the majority of our guests.

Working at the camp means that during the summer you will live at your workplace, at the campgrounds in Värmland. You will share accommodation with your colleagues while you work, about 5-6 people per room. The job requires that you can be away from home for at least 6 weeks during the summer.

About the company

Utepedagogik Sverige AB conducts camp activities at several campgrounds for children and young people aged 9-16 years, focusing on adventure and our operations are aimed at outdoor pedagogical activities. The cornerstones of Utepedagogik Sverige AB's pedagogical camp operations are: safety, quality, security, and community, as well as trained adults with a broad competence serving as good role models. Our motto is "at our campgrounds, you should feel safe to be whoever you want".

Job responsibilities

As a kitchen assistant, you will work in both the kitchen and dining room to deliver meals to camp participants and camp leaders. You will rotate between different work areas such as hot and cold kitchens and the dining room, and we will train you on-site, so you do not need to have training in kitchen work as long as you have the drive to learn.

The kitchen at the camp is the heart of our operations, and as an employee in the kitchen, your tasks will vary between cooking, serving, and dishwashing. Together with a team of 6-7 people, you will be responsible for delivering breakfast, lunch, and dinner in our common dining room to camp participants and camp leaders at our three campgrounds. Additionally, you will also receive deliveries, ensure that the campgrounds have snacks and evening meals, and prepare food for hikes/outings.

The work is done under the guidance of a kitchen manager. You must also meet the requirements for quality and hygiene and be able to meet camp participants in a pedagogical and inspiring way, as we want participants to discover the different aspects of cooking and possibly spark an understanding and future interest.
