Ambitious and food-loving kitchen assistant with a professional bachelor's degree in nutrition and health for Rosengården

You will be responsible for the kitchen and the development of a strong food and meal profile at Rosengården, ensuring that every day we serve healthy and tasty food that the children look forward to. You will be responsible for the daily operation of the kitchen and, in daily work, collaborate with the other staff so that you collectively succeed in developing the children’s willingness to try new foods and their curiosity about meals.

We are looking for a professionally skilled kitchen assistant who works from principles of being experimental, curious, and bold in terms of flavor, senses, and colors. We have the Gold organic label and focus on climate goals and serving meals that meet this.

We have 36 toddlers and 66 preschool children, who every day must be offered healthy, varied, and tasty organic meals in our lovely house. The kitchen is located on the 1st floor, where you will meet children (and parents) on their way to their floors and rooms. Therefore there is a natural dialogue and interaction with both children, parents and the rest of the staff.

You have two colleagues in the kitchen. One works 10 hours per week and the other three hours per week for dishwashing and other tasks. There is a possibility for overlap and introduction to the kitchen before you start. We expect that you can speak Danish.

• planning the menu
• the daily procurement and daily production of meals prepared from scratch, so we continue to secure the Gold Organic Eating Label while making varied, healthy and tasty food that follows the seasons
• continuously keeping you updated on new knowledge, recommendations and requirements in the field – you must be able to work according to the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration’s recommendations on healthy food for children in day-care centers
• ordering food online
• managing and complying with the kitchen’s finances and budget
• creating exciting, varied and inviting food experiences that represent the seasons
• cleaning the kitchen and performing self-checks
• staying informed about the house via Aula
• each week posting menu plans on Aula for the parents.

• can plan and keep track of a menu
• can work independently, but also collaborate with the pedagogical staff
