Cook

Would you like to cook good food in a patriotically significant work environment? We are looking for a COOK for the Falkonetti Garrison Restaurant for the special forces of good food, who take care of the food supply of the Pori Brigade in Niinisalo. What is this about? The army does not march on an empty stomach and food plays an important role in the endurance of conscripts. You and all your colleagues at the Falkonetti garrison restaurant are in a key role so that conscripts have enough strength to perform their military service. Our customers really appreciate the cook's work - they eat good food made by you and your colleagues four times a day. The work of a cook in a garrison restaurant is versatile and we prepare meals in large pots using Leijona's own recipes. You will flexibly do both morning and evening cook shifts and your duties will also include, for example, diet, salad and pre-preparation cook tasks, hall work, packaging and dish maintenance. We are where our customers are, and sometimes that also means grabbing the soup ladle in the Finnish Defence Forces' exercises in the middle of the wilderness. Our tables are filled with customers every day of the year, so you don't have to think about seasonal variations or summer layoffs. Your working hours vary from Mon-Sun between 5-20. You need your own vehicle to be able to do all shifts. Essential recruitment criteria: A cook's degree gives you the skills to prepare good and healthy food. You have a hygiene passport. The length of previous work experience can be replaced by a willingness to learn and your proactive work attitude. You will fit into our work group if you have a proactive work attitude and a willingness to learn. Our working language is Finnish and our recipes are available only in Finnish. We expect good Finnish language skills from you. Your workplace is located in the garrison area, and our customer requires a security clearance for those working in the area. At Leijona, a condition for concluding an employment contract is an approved security clearance - we will help you in doing this. Application instructions and preparing for application Our customers and operating environment add extra flavor to our work. The army world may still be a bit distant to you, which is why we recommend you check Leijona's Instagram or Facebook accounts to see what our working days look like.
