Vacant job

At Hotel Hasselbacken, people have gathered to experience and celebrate all of life's occasions since the mid-1700s. Here, food, music, and celebration are always in focus! We host parties, weddings, meetings, birthdays, and offer our guests cozy overnight stays in a historic environment with an incredible view of Stockholm's inlet.

The hotel is located on beautiful Djurgården with several of Stockholm's attractions such as ABBA The Museum, Skansen, and Gröna Lund around the corner. It only takes 10 minutes to get from Stockholm city, and the tram is right next door.

We are now looking for a sous chef to strengthen our kitchen team! Interested? Read on!

What does your workday look like?

You will work closely with the head chef and be responsible for leading the team in the kitchen during service, ensuring the kitchen's efficiency and that all dishes leaving the kitchen meet the highest quality.

Your responsibilities include, together with the head chef, setting menus, planning for the purchase of ingredients, and ensuring compliance with routines.

This is a role that requires both culinary skills and leadership abilities.

Cirkus Venues is a newly formed corporate group with businesses under strong development and is today one of Stockholm's largest players in the tourism industry. Cirkus Venues includes several established destinations and meeting places - Cirkus Arena & Restaurant, Hasselbacken, the boutique hotel Backstage with brasserie, café, bar, and the Visitors Bistro. From 2026, we will expand our operations with the new arena Gasometer in Norra Djurgårdsstaden.

For Cirkus Venues, a sustainability mindset is a given and something we actively work with at all levels. In 2022, we, together with our friends in Djurgården, received the prestigious “Green Destination Award” from the organization “Green Destinations.” This was due to the successful sustainability work that Djurgården conducts regarding, among other things, the environment and climate, culture and tradition, social sustainability, and hospitality. We see this fine award as both a confirmation and an inspiration to continue our important sustainability work going forward.
