Vacant job

Käringöns Brygga (Ö-krogen) / Hotell Käringön

Käringön is a genuine and beautiful place, outside Orust, at the far west. The surrounding sea is a great source of inspiration and also provides us with access to top-quality ingredients. Blue mussels and oysters are farmed nearby, and local fishing supplies the kitchen with mackerel, langoustines, and lobster.

Our restaurant, Käringöns Brygga, has the best possible location with a view over the harbor and the sea. The restaurant is the island's local eatery where guests can socialize and take the day as it comes. The kitchen is well organized with nice workspaces and modern equipment.

The season runs from mid-March to the end of October. During spring and autumn, we mainly operate on a booking basis for conferences and groups. During the high season, concentrated from midsummer into August, we change our concept to à la carte. In the autumn months, the availability of fresh seafood shapes our menus.

Now we want to take the next step up, and for that reason, we are looking for a motivated head chef who can lead the work and develop the business forward.

A different lifestyle

We who work on Käringön year-round have primarily chosen to do so because we love the sea and the dramatic nature. Here, there are opportunities for boating, hunting, fishing, diving, and other outdoor activities. Working on an island at the edge of the archipelago means, in a way, a slightly different existence. Is this a lifestyle that attracts you as well? If so, we think you should read through the information below and consider whether you are qualified for the position.

Personality and leadership style

We are looking for someone who can take on the role of head chef and has good experience in the culinary profession. Your credentials are important, but for us, your personal qualities are the most significant. We are ready to work hard to offer the best possible conditions. As a person, we want you to:

> have a positive attitude and always treat your colleagues fairly.

> feel a great responsibility for your kitchen team and the results you produce.

> want to be involved in developing our dining experience in the long term.

> have great respect for ingredients and see sustainability as an important aspect of the work.

> have a working style that leads to continuous improvements.

References from previous employment/assignments will be needed later in the process.

The workplace and employment

We want to offer a fantastic workplace with the right conditions and fair terms. The kitchen has good workspaces and is updated with modern equipment. We are members of VISITA and therefore have collective agreements with both HRF and Unionen. Accommodation on Käringön is provided. Västtrafik operates ferries from Tuvesvik to Käringön year-round, and the company also has a seaworthy boat with a cabin.

The employment form for the current position is long season or permanent employment with annual working hours. A permanent position will be preceded by a probationary period. Salary and other terms are individually based.
