Who you are

- You have a keen eye for cleanliness and detail -- nothing escapes your attention, whether it's a spill, a smudge, or an expired item.

You thrive in a physically demanding, fast-paced environment and take pride in maintaining high hygiene standards. You're safety-conscious and follow procedures meticulously -- cutting corners is not your style. You enjoy working independently but also contribute positively to a team. You're open to learning and bring a can-do attitude to every shift. Experience in cleaning or working in a food service environment is an asset (but not required).

Your responsibilities

- Perform deep cleaning tasks in the kitchen, IKEA Restaurant, and Bistro areas, including equipment, floors, walls, and food prep stations.

Ensure all cleaning routines meet IKEA's hygiene and safety standards. Maintain a clean, organized, and visually inviting workspace at all times. Support food safety by following proper sanitation procedures and reporting any issues. Assist with waste management and recycling programs. Collaborate with team members to ensure smooth operations and a safe environment for co-workers and customers. Be an ambassador of IKEA's values by contributing to a positive and respectful workplace.

Together as a team

Thanks to us, customers, co-workers and people at home can have a better everyday life through food that's good for both people and planet. Together we serve more than 660 million customers yearly at the IKEA restaurants worldwide, underlining our Scandinavian heritage by offering a modern taste of Sweden. We also offer a variety of foods in our bistros and in the "Swedish Food market". We are a diverse group of people who all live by the motto: Laughter is brightest in the place where the food is!

Why you will love us

Here at IKEA, we want to ensure that we are creating a better everyday life for the many people, including our co-workers. We also believe that a job should be so much more than a job. That's why we focus on having an inclusive work environment where we celebrate your uniqueness, live our values, and ensure that we walk the talk when it comes to co-worker development. In addition, we offer a comprehensive Total Rewards package to all co-workers including:

Wellness days (in addition to your vacation days!) Extended health, dental, and vision coverage (for you and your family) RRSP with IKEA contribution matching options Eligibility for our annual IKEA bonus incentive plan Flexible spending account Life insurance Merchandise and restaurant discounts (plus free drinks and different healthy meal options in the co-worker restaurant, where available) Parental leave Bereavement leave Employee assistance program (that helps you support your mental, physical, and financial wellbeing)
