Private Chef Job, Chigwell, Essex
Our client, represented by Greycoat Lumleys, is seeking an experienced Private Chef to join their household in Chigwell.
The successful candidate will be responsible for preparing meals for two adults and a newborn. The family enjoys healthy, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with a focus on fresh ingredients and high-protein dishes. There are no dietary restrictions, however, the chef should have an understanding of preparing nutritious meals suitable for a mother during the post-partum period.
This is a relaxed and informal household, and the successful candidate will be required to prepare family-style meals rather than formal dining. The role will include menu planning, shopping, and provisioning for all ingredients.
The working schedule will primarily be Monday to Friday, with some flexibility required for occasional weekend support. The ability to travel with the family from time to time would be advantageous.
The ideal candidate will be adaptable, proactive, and happy to assist with additional household tasks when required, such as running errands, managing dry cleaning, or dog walking.
Driving: A full driving licence is essential due to the property's location.
Accommodation: Included – a separate two-bedroom apartment provided.
Working Hours: Monday to Friday, with flexibility for occasional weekends.
Salary: £60,000+ gross per annum, depending on experience.
Start Date: September 2026 - happy to wait for the right chef
