Vacant job

Are you passionate about cooking, sustainability, and do you want to help develop tomorrow's childcare and elderly care with us? Are you a trained chef with a strong commitment and a desire to create joy in food and good eating habits every day? Then you are our new colleague!

What does the job as a chef at Norlandia preschool and elderly care involve?

To our preschool and elderly care facility, located in the same building, we are looking for another engaged and self-sufficient chef who wants to make a difference for our elderly and children every day.

We are looking for you who, together with another chef, want to take responsibility for our kitchen and proudly prepare nutritious, delicious, and sustainable meals.

Here, we see the meal as an important part of the children's learning. Therefore, we are looking for you who enjoy meeting both children and the elderly in daily life and who see the value in involving them in the kitchen's activities. This could involve, for example, talking about ingredients or holding small cooking sessions for "mini chefs." You see meal pedagogy as a natural part of your work and contribute to creating curiosity, joy in food, and good habits.

As a chef here, you are responsible for planning, preparing, and serving nutritious meals according to Norlandia's concept for the preschool, Mat med smak (Food with Taste), and Smaklig måltid (Enjoy Your Meal) for the elderly care.
