Nutrition Assistant for Kærdalen – be part of creating joy of life through food

Are you passionate about food, nutrition and good meal experiences? Can you see the value in a tasty meal and the aroma of home-baked goods making a big difference in a person’s daily life? Then you might be our new colleague.

At Plejecenter Kærdalen we are seeking a nutrition assistant for up to 37 hours per week with start date 1 December 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.

With us, food is more than nourishment. The meals are the day’s gathering point, create joy, evoke memories and contribute to residents’ quality of life. Therefore we are looking for a colleague who wants to help create good experiences and put their personal touch on daily life.

Who are we?

Kærdalen is a lively nursing home where we work closely across professional disciplines to create the best framework for residents. In the cafe team you will become part of a strong community with skilled colleagues, high spirits and a daily life where ideas and initiatives are valued.

We believe that job satisfaction is contagious, and that humor, respect and collaboration are the keys to a good working environment.

• Planning and preparation of other meals and snacks.
• Nutritional interventions for residents with special needs.
• Activities and events where food and community are at the center.
• Creative solutions that reduce food waste and maximize value.
• Ordering of goods and other kitchen-related tasks.
• Cleaning and self-check according to applicable guidelines.

You will be attached to a department where you will have the opportunity to build relationships with both residents and staff and become a natural part of daily life.
