Vacant job

At Vadstena Monastery Hotel, you stay as Saint Birgitta did in our medieval town, experiencing history up close in a magnificent and unique way. At Restaurant Munkklostret, dinners are served in the old monks' sleeping quarters, and on the grounds you can take part in guided historical experiences, taste selected wines in our historic wine cellar, or relax in our Monastery Spa where warmth and tranquility meet historical surroundings. The thick monastery walls, stone floors, and high cross vaults carry stories from another time and create an atmosphere that is hard to find anywhere else. Today, Vadstena Monastery Hotel is a modern destination with historical roots. We cherish the authentic, the genuine, and the personal in everything we do. Here, history, guest experiences, and people passionate about hospitality meet every day.

Do you want to cook meals that guests remember, together with a team that cares about each other?

We are looking for you who love the feeling of successful service. You who enjoy high tempo, teamwork, and when the last plate leaves the kitchen with the same quality as the first.

At Vadstena Monastery Hotel, food is an important part of the overall experience. Our guests come here to celebrate, relax, attend conferences, or experience the unique historical environment – and we want the food to be something they talk about long after they have left.

Therefore, we are now looking for a Sous Chef who wants to help develop our kitchen together with us.

With us, you become a key person in our kitchen

You plan, lead service, support your colleagues, and contribute ideas that develop both the food and the way we work.

We do not believe in micromanagement. We believe in people who take responsibility, come up with their own ideas, and want to do things a little better every day. We want you to feel that this is a kitchen where you have influence.

A kitchen with great variety

With us, no week is like the other. Here we cook dinner for weekend guests one day, conferences the next, and large weddings or events during the weekend. We work with à la carte, banquets, and events, which makes our work varied and developmental.

We like classic flavors but are also curious about the new. We appreciate craftsmanship and place great importance on ingredients, quality, and details.

We believe that you

• have a few years of experience from a restaurant kitchen
• perhaps already work as a sous chef or are an experienced cook who feels ready for the next step
• enjoy leading others and get energy from seeing colleagues develop
• keep a cool head even when there is a lot to do
• are unpretentious, solution-oriented, and a team player
• want to help create a workplace where it is fun to go to work.

Here is what you can look forward to

With us, you get to work in a unique environment where history meets modern gastronomy. You become part of an engaged team where we help each other, have high ambitions, and at the same time value a good work environment.

We want people to thrive with us. Therefore, we place great importance on collaboration, development, and leadership based on trust and respect.

If you are looking for a kitchen where you get to take responsibility, develop, and make a difference, then we believe you will thrive with us.

We look forward to hearing from you.
