Cook and Kitchen Manager at Odd Fellow Nursing Home Sct. Olaf

Economa/Kitchen Manager at Odd Fellow Nursing Home Sct. Olaf

Are you a beacon in modern nursing home kitchen operations and leadership? We are seeking a kitchen manager who can show the way for a team of dedicated nutrition assistants and cooks.

The Sct. Olaf Nursing Home is a self-owned institution, and there is an operating agreement with Aarhus Municipality.

At the Sct. Olaf Nursing Home, we work with the individual resident at the center. That means all employees are hired to handle each resident’s interests. We strive for a good and pleasant environment for everyone, while working in a professional practice with quality and development in the foreground.

Our actions, thoughts and decisions are based on everyday life, the individual resident’s right to self-determination and integrity.

We place high value on collaboration with residents. To maintain identity and quality of life, we work professionally based on each resident’s life history.

Perhaps you are the one who wants to future-proof food, health, and collaboration at Sct. Olaf? As an economa/kitchen manager you will be responsible for a well-functioning kitchen. Newer focus areas such as sustainability, ecology and food waste are something we would like to invest in in the future. For that task we are looking for someone who is good at listening, trustworthy and has experience with kitchen leadership as well as an interest in cooking for older people.

You will have responsibility for the daily operation of the kitchen, procurement, budget, economics, hygiene, menus, and most importantly the residents’ nutrition and desire for good food. To help you get everything to work you will have skilled and engaged staff.

You will become an active part of the management at Sct. Olaf. We work closely together in everyday life and value the immediate sparring, and that we can move many things effectively when we lift together. We have a curious approach to professional dialogue, both when we talk about the large strategic goals, and when we discuss details.

Your core tasks will be

• Responsibility for the daily operation in the kitchen
• People management of staff/apprentice
• Quality assurance and documentation in accordance with applicable standards
• Contribute to a good workplace with professionalism and a high focus on the work environment
• Put the resident’s needs at the center when preparing meals
• Contribute to creating development across the organization.

We want a leader who

• Has experience as a leader.
• Has a nutritional/culinary background, or another relevant education background that can match the position.
• Can help create a good working environment for staff and a cozy home for residents.
• Is strong in relationships and acknowledges others in their approach.
• Is happy to work in a structured way with focus on planning and management
• Is strong at implementation and understands how to lead change processes
• Can create new solutions through a creative and innovative approach
• Is flexible and action-oriented
• Is good at delegating and shows trust in your employees

We can offer

• An exciting job with challenging tasks
• Motivated and skilled employees with different professional backgrounds
• An all-round management job
• A daily life full of many good ideas from a dedicated staff group, residents and relatives
• An influential daily life with space to think big, creative solutions and management support
• An exciting workplace in rapid development
