Join us and create great food experiences and student welfare at Studentinord!

Do you have a smile ready, like meeting people, and want to contribute to making students' everyday lives a little better? Then this might be the job for you. Studentinord delivers food and beverage services to students and employees at Nord universitet. Among other things, we operate a canteen with hot food, sandwiches, salad bar and refrigerated goods, a coffee bar, self-service outlets, and catering for meetings, conferences, and other events.

We are now seeking a canteen employee who will have a central role in the daily operation of the serving area. You will largely have an overview of what is happening in the front and contribute to ensuring that tasks are coordinated, that counters and outlets look good, and not least that our customers are met in a positive way.

For some students, the canteen is a natural place to take a break, eat a good meal, or have a coffee between lectures. For others, it may be the day's first – or only – encounter with another human being. A smile, a "hello," or a pleasant little chat can be a small bright spot in a busy or difficult day.

The workday will be varied. You can work at the register, restock goods, coordinate tasks in the service area, prepare and deliver meeting food, collect returns, set up for events, or follow up on our self-service outlets. You will also be responsible for keeping track of orders and ensuring that deliveries and invoicing are followed up.

We therefore need a person who takes responsibility, sees what needs to be done, and gets things done. At the same time, cooperation is important. With us, we are a team, and everyone must be willing to contribute where needed.

It can be hectic at times, so you must thrive with the pace, be able to prioritize, and still have the energy to meet both customers and colleagues with a good mood.

  • Maintain an overview of the daily operation in the serving area
  • Coordinate and distribute tasks in the service and seating areas
  • Customer service and cash register work

  • Invoicing
  • Follow up and restock our self-service outlets (Trust Shops)

We believe you will thrive with us if you:

  • have good work capacity and drive
  • are proactive and see what needs to be done
  • like taking responsibility and getting things completed

  • are structured, tidy, and reliable
  • cooperate well and contribute positively to the work environment
  • maintain a good mood and a smile ready, even when the pace is high
