About the job

We are looking for you who love baking, meeting people with a smile and delivering good service in our staff- and student canteen at AU Viborg.

About AU-Viborg (part of Aarhus University)

At AU Viborg we work together to create sustainable solutions within soil, animals, plants, food, climate and environment. With three new programmes in Animal Science, Plant and Food Science and Veterinary Medicine we have gained even more students on board. We look forward to the life and energy the students bring to the canteen!

Job description

You will become an important part of everyday life in the canteen, where you serve our guests. You will have a special responsibility for the daily baking for the canteen’s sales and ensure that our guests meet an inviting selection of freshly baked bread, cakes and other delicious products.

You will become part of a strong team with three good colleagues, where we help each other, share ideas and have fun together. Together you will have the opportunity to put your mark on the canteen and develop it so that it becomes a cozy meeting point for both students and staff.

We offer a daily life with good working hours, varied tasks and a high degree of independence. As part of the team you will have a close collaboration with your colleagues during the day. Since the other staff have earlier working hours, you will be responsible for the canteen alone in the last part of the day. We are therefore looking for a person who is comfortable working independently, taking responsibility and ensuring that the day’s tasks are carried out well.

We place emphasis on sustainability and reducing food waste, and we help each other to create a well-functioning canteen where washing up and cleaning are also a natural part of our daily life.

Your duties will include

  • To be responsible for the daily baking of bread, rolls, cakes and other products for the canteen’s sales
  • To greet our guests with a smile, handle sales and service in the canteen and ensure that the service area is inviting and presentable.
  • To prepare meeting refreshments, and take care of the practical tasks related to events
  • To help with washing up, cleaning and other ad hoc tasks in the canteen

We imagine that you

  • Have experience with or interest in baking and thrive on taking responsibility for an area in the daily operation.
  • Are outgoing and service-minded, contribute to job satisfaction and well-being in the department and keep your good mood, even when it is busy.
  • Have a sense of order, a good overview and reliability. You work independently, take initiative and thrive with responsibility.
  • Can plan and prioritize your tasks. You are comfortable at the till and handling events in periods.
  • Have knowledge of handling food and hygiene.
  • Can communicate in Danish and are comfortable understanding English.
  • Have experience from canteen, café, bakery or similar.

Weekly working hours

The working hours are Monday to Friday. The working hours are generally from 07:30 to 15:00, but on certain days the hours may be until 16:00 in connection with events and meeting refreshments. We have a flexitime scheme, so when the work allows it, there is an opportunity for flexible working hours within the agreement. There will be occasional evening and weekend shifts in connection with events in the house.

Place of employment

Blichers Allé 20, 8830 Tjele

Terms of employment

The position is a permanent appointment of 37 hours per week.

We wish to fill the position by 15 January or as soon as possible thereafter. We expect to conduct interviews in week 47.
