Vacant job

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

The Meal Unit in Sollentuna Municipality works based on a common meal program focused 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 kitchen assistant, you work in a kitchen where, together with colleagues, you contribute to creating a pleasant and secure meal experience for children/students in our schools and preschools. Depending on whether you work in a preschool or a school, the days look slightly different. In a preschool, you are responsible for portioning out the day's meals into designated containers and ensuring that the food reaches the departments on time and with good quality. After the meals, you collect the departments' carts, handle dishwashing, and ensure that the kitchen is kept clean, organized, and in accordance with current hygiene routines. In a school, you ensure that the food is served in the buffet and that you are available in the dining hall for students during lunch.

The work also includes handling special diets, salad preparation, and working according to HACCP and self-control procedures. In this role, you may assist with simple cooking, heating, or preparations. You meet children and educators daily and contribute to a positive meal environment through close and service-oriented collaboration.

The position is a permanent part-time employment at 50%.
