Chef, Mot

Chef/ Night guard. (Immediate Start) — MOT Camp, Norway

Are you a passionate chef ready for a dynamic role in a unique environment? MOT Camp is looking for a skilled and flexible Chef to join our team as soon as possible. You’ll be working in a collaborative, meaningful setting where the kitchen plays a central role in daily operations and experiences.

MOT Camp is more than a retreat location — it's a place for growth, learning, and community. (Feel free to browse their site for context.) You’ll help bring people together through food, contributing to the spirit and energy of the place.

Our schedule is varied and built around meals. We’re flexible to adapt to what works best for the team:

Shift Type Hours Notes Lunch shift 08:00 – 15:00 Mondays and regular days Dinner shift 14:00 – 20:00
“Resting night” shift 23:00 – 06:00 Half pay (on-call sleeping hours) Breakfast shift 06:00 – 09:00

We often combine dinner + resting night + breakfast in one rotation to ensure coverage while respecting rest. The final schedule will be agreed upon in collaboration with the team.
