Gränsö Slott is a family-owned destination featuring a hotel, restaurant, and spa, located by the sea in Västervik.

Our beautiful castle environment, surrounded by sea and nature, attracts many guests seeking luxurious hotel accommodations, a beautiful spa, delicious food, and excellent service.

We grow every year, reinvesting our profits into developing Gränsö Slott. Over the past year, we have built a completely new, fully equipped, and modern large kitchen to meet our high demand and prepare even better food. We offer à la carte dining, host large events, weddings, and parties.

We are now looking for an experienced and creative Head Chef who wants to lead our kitchen team to the next level.

As the Head Chef at Gränsö Slott, you will lead a kitchen team that is forward-thinking and eager to develop. Our food is characterized by high-quality local ingredients with a focus on seasonality and the surrounding nature.

You are not driven by prestige but by the joy of shared successes. We work closely together, so you must be a good people manager and leader. You will work closely with the management and drive both Gränsö Slott and your team forward, in collaboration with all departments.

At Gränsö Slott, we see everything as a whole – we are never better than our weakest link. We are engaged and passionate, and we welcome all feedback to constantly improve.

You are responsible for the kitchen's operations and will receive administrative support to remain present in the operational work.

• Has many years of experience as a Head Chef/Kitchen Manager, preferably from fine dining.
