Your Mission
At Akademiska Hospital, food is considered an important part of care, and your role will be significant for our patients' daily life and recovery.
The work involves preparing patient meals including breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and evening meals. Dishes are prepared in an external kitchen and finished in ward kitchens. Additionally, you will manage ward kitchens, including dish handling, food ordering, cleaning, etc. You will also be responsible for self-monitoring to ensure patient safety in areas such as cleaning and temperature measurement. The work is fast-paced, mostly standing and moving. Services are primarily performed at the Akademiska Hospital area, but also at some care units in Uppsala outside the hospital area. You are flexible and willing to work in hospital areas, psychiatric and forensic psychiatric units, or hospice. Your employment will be ongoing and within the Property and Service management.
Ward kitchens are staffed from approximately 06:30 to 19:00 every day of the year.
Your Qualifications
We are seeking a team player who can also work independently. We want a meticulous person passionate about service and people, and who can handle stress. You need to have excellent Swedish and be able to receive written and verbal information. It is crucial that you follow instructions, as patient meals are part of medical treatment. The job requires good physical condition. Previous experience in kitchen/restaurant or healthcare is advantageous. Great importance will be placed on personal suitability.
