The Company...
Åkerblads Hotel & Guesthouse is a hotel located in beautiful Tällberg, Dalarna. Since the 1400s, the hotel has been owned by the Åkerblad family, and today the 19th-22nd generation of Åkerblads works with a strong team to provide guests with an extraordinary experience.
We create experiences for our guests, from the moment they check in until they long to return to the sparkling waters of Siljan.
We strive to be unique with our offerings, and perhaps that's why the hotel today has 73 uniquely and personally furnished rooms. The restaurant works with locally sourced ingredients and personalized flavors, for both conference guests and weekend visitors.
The hotel is currently classified with four stars and is committed to continuous development where quality is one of the cornerstones. Our Spa department consists of 3 therapy rooms, 1 duo treatment room, 1 hydrotherapy bath, and a spa suite with its own bubble pool and sauna. Together with the newly added pool area featuring a pool, hydromassage pool, and outdoor pool, we also have a well-equipped gym and exclusive changing rooms with sauna. Dry relaxation areas and a pool bar are also new additions to our SPA.
Your Responsibilities...
As SPA Chef, you will have a driving role leading work in our spa department. In addition to performing treatments, you will be responsible for ensuring therapists are available for booked treatments and that treatment rooms are clean and fresh. You will work closely with our reception, as treatment bookings are handled there. You hold ultimate responsibility for maintaining the same high standards as the rest of the hotel. As SPA Chef, you are also part of the company's management team and work closely with the owner family. Your professional role also includes scheduling, responsibility and task distribution to therapists, budget planning, purchasing, and inventory management.
The majority of your working time will be spent on treatments.
Competency Profile...
As an employee at Åkerblads, we expect you to carry out your work with great engagement and creative ability. We also expect you to have a pronounced sense of quality and service, along with a genuine interest in working with people—especially our guests, but also colleagues and coworkers.
You express energy through clear and dynamic body language and positive charisma. We believe you're full of ideas and equipped with a large dose of curiosity. Most importantly, we're looking for the right team member, and we believe you recognize yourself in the following: You are organized, flexible, and good at taking initiative. You feel great responsibility for ensuring that your interactions with guests are both professional and personal. You are curious, patient, and solution-oriented; you also always have a cheerful demeanor and plenty of common sense. You create engagement, joy, and pride; your coworkers respect you because you are considerate and driven.
