Kitchen Angel for Scandi Kitchen (full time) from 15th Oct

_S5O8962
We love our little lovely Olivia, but she is going back to Sweden at the end of October and we're looking for a new Kitchen Angel to take her place full time.

Here's the advert - details at the bottom on how to apply.

Kitchen Angel (Scandinavian Kitchen seeks amazing kitchen person)

We’re Scandinavian Kitchen and we’re a deli/grocery shop/café for anyone who likes Scandinavian food.  We’ve been open since 2007 and have gone from strength to strength.  Our shop in Great Titchfield Street W1 is a hub for ex pats and Scandophiles alike.

Our cafe is full of great people: from our customers to the people who work here.  We pride ourselves in being not just about the food, but also about surrounding ourselves with super duper people.

We’re looking for a Kitchen Angel to join the kitchen team full time from mid October.  On a day to day basis, the team preps all the open sandwiches for our café, prepare the salads, bake an array of super cakes and sometimes also make food for out of house orders (anything from buffets to canapés).  The role offers great scope to get involved and not only make great food and cakes - but also use your initiative and help make the Kitchen Team even stronger. 

Responsibilities include:

  • Making open sandwiches, salads, rolls and other lunch prep needed daily
  • Heaps of baking of Scandinavian cakes and pastries
  • Keeping the kitchen clean to a very high standard
  • Champion stock rotation and stock control
  • Help out with catering orders when needed, both in and out of house

The person we’re looking for has the following skills and qualities:

  • Experience of working in a kitchen
  • Experience of retail and/or food service
  • Good knowledge of Scandinavian food
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
  • Has good comprehension of least one Scandinavian language and is fluent in English (read/write)
  • Good numeracy and logic skills
  • Can think on your feet and work under pressure and stress
  • Knows all the lyrics to Roxette’s "She's got the look" - backwards. Na na na naaa na.

A lot of our Scandinavian customers miss home and any applicant who has been away from ‘home’ (meaning country) for a while gets bonus points as it brings an understanding of what it is like to live abroad. We welcome in particular applications from people who have already been customers of ours so you know what we’re all about (although this is not essential).

Please note that this role requires weekend work most weekends because we’re now open 7 days a week.  If you are not committed to weekend work, this job is not for you.

Hours of work are Wednesday through till Sunday either 6:30-15:00 or 8:00-16:00 (shifts depending).  As this is a full time permanent role we are unable to accept applications from people wishing to do placement jobs or similar: we are looking for someone who is going to stick around ideally for a year.  The longer, the better, really.

To apply, please send your current CV and a little note about you and why you want to work at Scandi Kitchen to: bronte@scandikitchen.co.uk.   Deadline is 28th Sep for applying, but we start interviews straight away.

We’re sorry, but if you have not heard back from us a week after the deadline, the job wasn’t quite right for you this time around.
