Vacant job

Do you want to help shape the future of meals for children and young people?

The Meals Unit in Sollentuna Municipality works based on a common meal program with a focus on health, sustainability, and quality. We create nutritious meals and safe environments that contribute to equal health and sustainable development. Every day, we serve approximately 14,000 meals in preschools and schools. Our kitchens are important for giving children and students a positive relationship with food, where the meal becomes part of learning and inspires good, sustainable eating habits. With varied and largely plant-based meals and a calm, inclusive environment, we make a difference every day.

Job Responsibilities

As a cook, you work in a production kitchen where you, together with colleagues, are responsible for preparing delicious and nutritious meals for several preschools/schools. Together with the head chef, you plan and prepare the day's meals, place orders, unpack goods, and ensure that hygiene routines are followed. The role also includes handling special diets, managing self-control, washing dishes, and keeping the kitchen clean and organized.

In your role at the Meals Unit, you will meet children/students daily and contribute to a positive meal experience. You will be employed centrally at the Meals Unit, which means you may be moved between kitchens when needs arise. The basis is that you are based in one kitchen.

Qualifications

To thrive and succeed in the role, you need to be self-reliant and take responsibility for ensuring that the work in the kitchen runs smoothly and structured. You collaborate well and build good relationships with colleagues, and you meet the children with a safe and warm approach.

You have a genuine commitment to cooking that makes a difference in children's daily lives, and your heart beats a little extra for working in an activity where the meal is an important part of care, learning, and joy for the children. You work carefully and with quality awareness, with order and tidiness as a natural part of your professional pride.
