Job Responsibilities

Now you have the chance to share your passion for food with all our important guests!

You see the importance of your work for the whole operation and want to contribute to ensuring that our children, educators, and seniors receive food of high quality, offered as good and varied nutrition cooked from scratch as much as possible. You believe it is important to have climate-smart and sustainable food and know how to communicate your knowledge and joy of cooking to others.

In Lekeberg Municipality, there are three production kitchens within the Meals Unit: the Central Kitchen at Lekeberg School, the Hidinge School Restaurant, and the Träffen Preparation Kitchen, which prepares food for elderly care. All food distributed to the municipality's schools, childcare, and elderly care is cooked here. Approximately 2,000 meals are produced every weekday.

We believe that the key to success lies in extensive collaboration across boundaries, for example, between the kitchen and educational activities. The kitchen should be an integrated part of the school and care services.

This vacancy is a new "pool position" as a cook in the Meals Unit, meaning you will work in different preparation kitchens where the need is greatest in the municipality. As a cook, you work to ensure that the served food maintains high quality according to the Swedish Food Agency's guidelines "Good Food in Preschool/School/Elderly Care". Your role is very important, and together with the other cooks and meal assistants, you perform cooking, planning, ordering, dishwashing, etc.

As an employee in Lekeberg Municipality, you will enjoy a number of benefits, e.g.:

• Wellness allowance of up to 3,000 SEK/year
• Extra vacation days beyond the statutory 25 days when you turn 40 and 50
• Opportunity to rent a company bicycle and/or company car with gross salary deduction

We are now looking for you who have:

• Education in large-scale catering, hospitality, or equivalent documented experience
• Knowledge of self-control, food hygiene, diet food, and special dietary needs
• Experience and knowledge of using IT systems
• Category B driver's license

It is meritorious if you have experience preparing special diets for children, experience working with vegetarian food, special diets, and diet food for seniors.

It is desirable that you have experience from both the private restaurant industry as well as public meals. We would appreciate it if you could communicate well in Swedish, as it is of utmost importance that the right guest receives the right diet regarding different special dietary needs.

As a person, you are sensitive and solution-focused. You are meticulous, flexible, and service-oriented. You have a good ability to plan and structure your work, and of course, you cook good food that appeals to many!

You can collaborate just as well as work independently. For us, it is important that you put the guest in focus, contribute to job satisfaction, a good work environment, and have a positive and professional attitude towards those you meet in your work. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
