JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

If you are a positive, driven, and ambitious person who loves food and is passionate about providing excellent service to our guests, you are the person we are looking for! We need more temporary workers, both meal assistants and cooks, so apply today!

Temporary workers in the Meal Organization make themselves available for work and are booked across all our kitchens to cover for absences. As a meal assistant, you will prepare salads, bake bread, and create beautiful presentations of our well-cooked food for children and the elderly. You will also serve food, wash dishes, and clean in our kitchens.

If you work as a cook, you will prepare food from scratch with variations based on established recipes. The ingredients we use are of good quality; we only buy Swedish and/or organic food and use meat sourced from Sweden. We cook with a focus on the environment and climate, actively work with food waste and production volume, so you should be interested in these areas. Other kitchen tasks may also be included.

QUALIFICATIONS

We primarily seek individuals with a culinary education and secondarily those who have trained as meal assistants or have experience working in kitchens.

We want you to have a pleasant demeanor towards our diners and good collaboration skills. We value individuals who can see the organization as a whole with a solution-oriented mindset. You should have good knowledge of the Swedish language in both spoken and written form, as well as computer skills.

We place great importance on personal suitability and expect you to be a good representative of Växjö Municipality.

We encourage applications for this advertisement also for summer temporary positions in the Meal Organization for the summer of 2026.

Interviews are conducted on an ongoing basis, which may mean it takes longer to receive feedback.
