Gränsö Castle 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 who combine a luxurious hotel stay with our beautiful spa, delicious food, and excellent service.

We grow every year, and we reinvest our profits into developing Gränsö Castle. Over the past year, we have, among other things, built a completely new, fully equipped, and modern large kitchen to meet our high demand and to be able to 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 Sous Chef who wants to lead the kitchen team during evening service.

As Sous Chef at Gränsö Castle, you will lead a kitchen team that strives forward and wants to develop. Our food is characterized by high-quality local ingredients with a focus on seasonality and the nature surrounding us.

We see you as a present and attentive chef who wants to share your knowledge and coach the kitchen team. You are a clear and straightforward person with good communication skills. You are not driven by prestige, but by the joy of shared successes. We work closely together, so you need to be a good judge of character and a leader. You will work closely with the management and drive both Gränsö and your team forward, in collaboration with all departments.

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

You are responsible for the kitchen's operations during the evening à la carte service and work closely with both the kitchen and service teams.
