We are looking for a dedicated and professional À La Carte Chef to join our kitchen team in Restaurant Kaunis! At Restaurant Kaunis, located within the hotel on top of the fell Kaunispää, local ingredients are showcased at their very best: whitefish caught from Lake Inari by our owner, influences from around the world, and a modern Nordic touch all come together in our cuisine. This is where our guests begin their day with breakfast, continue with lunch, and culminate it with dinner, all while enjoying the breathtaking surrounding views.
In this role, you will work in a versatile kitchen environment with both à la carte dishes and buffet services. We value a passion for the world of flavors, an efficient working style, and enthusiasm for contributing to seamless teamwork and a good kitchen atmosphere.
The employment period will be from November 2026 until the end of March 2027 with a full-time contract (112.5 hours / 3 weeks).
If you think this could be the winter job for you, please send us your application and CV - we would love to hear more about you.
