Vacant job

JENSEN School Kitchens Sickla is now looking for an ambitious chef with an interest in healthy and well-prepared food!

Here you will help create a school restaurant where healthy, delicious, and nutritious food is served to primary school students as well as our educators and teachers, while laying the foundation for many children's lifelong healthy eating habits. Sickla Primary School has approximately 600 students, but the kitchen prepares about 3,000 meals every day. The kitchen in Sickla delivers food daily to 12 other units of varying sizes.

You will have the opportunity to influence the menus together with other chefs at JENSEN schools, plan your own work, and implement your own ideas locally and on a larger scale within JENSEN's generous guidelines. The work is carried out in new premises and a well-equipped kitchen where everything is accessible.

Our meals aim to be high-quality, nutritious, and varied. We have a sustainability mindset and work actively to utilize raw materials in the best possible way. In addition, you share our thoughts on the importance of safeguarding children's health and well-being, including actively working to reduce the amount of refined sugar they consume.

With us, you take on overall responsibility, which you take very seriously. In addition, you have a strong desire to brighten the children's day by offering them the "little extra" that your engagement with food can provide.

Job Responsibilities

The work includes both planning and preparation of lunch, snacks, and dishwashing. You are responsible for refilling the food and ensuring that the buffets in the dining hall are clean, both during and after lunch. You are also responsible for special diets. Follow-up and self-control are part of the role, and you are expected to create good routines that follow the rules for food handling, such as ensuring that refrigerators, kitchen areas, and machines are in good condition and clean according to HACCP standards.

What We Are Looking For

We are now looking for you who have a burning interest in preparing good, varied, and healthy food. You want to give children the opportunity for new taste experiences and the feeling that food is both fun and delicious!

The work in the kitchen is both independent and very social; the person who cooks food is an important figure, and you should feel like a part of the operation. You are a creative and idea-rich cook who likes to take initiative. You are responsible and have strong collaboration skills with both children and adults.

You have chef training or other equivalent education deemed suitable by the employer. A prerequisite for handling the work is that you are quality-conscious and have good knowledge of allergies, special diets, nutrition, and good health. It is also important that you are flexible and self-reliant as the work may involve rapid changes. Basic computer skills are necessary.

Employment Type

The position is a permanent full-time employment (100%) with immediate start or as agreed. For this position, we apply a six-month probation period. Location at JENSEN Primary School Sickla.
