A UHNW family based in Knightsbridge is seeking an experienced and highly professional Private Chef to join their household on a permanent basis.
The successful candidate will work alongside an existing chef on a rotational schedule, taking full responsibility for the family's culinary requirements during their working period. This is an excellent opportunity for a chef with previous private household experience who enjoys creating healthy, high-quality cuisine and is comfortable working within a fully staffed environment.
The family consists of two adults and three children, with one pet dog. One of the children is away at school during term time and returns to the family home during holidays and school breaks.
Schedule
The role operates on a rotational basis with a second chef. During your rotation, the typical working schedule will be 7:00am to 8:00pm, 7 days per week. Rotations are generally 3–4 consecutive weeks, followed by a handover period with the second chef before time off.
Responsibilities
The chef will be responsible for preparing daily breakfast, lunch and dinner for the family, creating healthy and seasonal menus, sourcing ingredients, managing kitchen stock, and maintaining the highest standards of food preparation and presentation. The successful candidate will also work closely with the second chef to ensure smooth handovers and continuity of service.
Cuisine Requirements
The family particularly enjoys healthy, nutritious cuisine with a focus on Italian, Mediterranean and Spanish cooking. Candidates should be confident preparing a wide variety of dishes within these styles whilst bringing creativity, variety and seasonal influences to the menu.
Travel
