Cook for Gotland Grönt Centrum

Join us in creating the obvious meeting place for Gotland's food.

At the turn of the year, Gotland Grönt Centrum is taking over the operation of the restaurant and conference activities in Roma. We are now looking for a cook who, together with our head chef and the rest of the team, wants to build up and run the operation.

Our goal is to create a warm and welcoming restaurant where students, employees at Grönt Centrum, conference guests and external lunch guests meet. A restaurant that showcases the food from Gotland's soil, sea and farms and that becomes a natural part of everything that happens at Gotland Grönt Centrum.

About the role

As a cook, you work together with the head chef on the daily operations in the kitchen. You cook lunch for students, employees and external guests, as well as food for conferences, catering and various events.

We want to cook really good food from scratch. The menus should follow the seasons and be based on Gotlandic ingredients. You therefore need to be curious about the ingredients and want to work closely with the school farm and local producers.

The students are an important part of Gotland Grönt Centrum and will be a natural part of your working day. You need to enjoy meeting young people and want to create curiosity about food, ingredients and craft. In the long term, students should also be able to participate in certain practical elements in and around the kitchen.

The role is primarily operational. You need to enjoy cooking every day and be prepared to help where needed. We are a smaller team and help each other to create a good overall experience for the guest.

Your main tasks

You will, among other things:

• Prepare and cook lunch as well as food for conferences, catering and events.
• Contribute to menu planning together with the head chef.
• Cook good and well-prepared food from scratch with consistent quality.
• Work with Gotlandic ingredients and contribute to good relationships with local producers.
• Make smart use of ingredients and actively work to reduce waste.
• Handle special diets and ensure that the food is safe.
• Follow routines for food hygiene, self-monitoring, cleaning and safety in the kitchen.
• Meet and supervise students in practical elements.
• Collaborate closely with the head chef, restaurant manager and other colleagues at Gotland Grönt Centrum.
• Help with other tasks in the kitchen and restaurant when needed.

The long-term strategic development is led by Gotland Grönt Centrum's project manager and CEO. You will be an important part of translating the direction into the food that is cooked and served every day.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone with education or experience from working as a cook in a professional kitchen. You enjoy cooking really good food from scratch and are confident in practical kitchen work.

To succeed in the role, we believe that you:

• Have a genuine interest in cooking, ingredients and craft.
• Want to work with local producers and Gotlandic ingredients.
• Are structured and can plan your work independently and together with others.
• Can maintain consistent quality even when the pace is high and many portions are to be served.
• Are confident with special diets and food hygiene routines.
• Have a respectful and pedagogical approach in meeting students and young people.
• Are responsible, solution-oriented and good at collaborating.
• Are unpretentious and prepared to help where needed.

It is a merit if you have experience from lunch restaurants, conference activities, catering or cooking for many guests. Experience from working with students, local producers or seasonal cooking is also a merit.

We place great importance on your personality and your ability to complement the rest of the organization.
