Summary

This is a great opportunity for a Private Chef to be based in the UK and join an exciting new-build estate in the Cotswolds.

We are looking for a Chef with an excellent background in private cheffing who wishes to be land-based. With an opportunity to create balance between your work and social life, this role is perfect for someone who wishes to bring their skillset shore-side, whilst still working for UHNW clients within a luxury environment.

• Food wise, they are looking for Ottolenghi style food and service will normally be plated or buffet. The Principal's are very health orientated so dishes such as big colourful salads would be desired.

• Must have a few years of experience working as a private Chef either on yachts or within households.

• There will be a focus on good food that is grown on the estate as the family like to minimise their waste where possible. There will also be chickens onsite for fresh eggs!

• Responsibilities will include daily service for the principals as well as maintenance of the kitchen area - you must show initiative as there will be times where you will work independently, with some cross over with the seasonal Head Chef who has previously worked with the family. They are looking for a candidate who is ready to take on more responsibility.

• Service style will depend, if it is just the principals in residence, there will be a nice mix of more relaxed service as well as a need to provide a more formal setting for events.

• This is an exciting time to join with lots of opportunities as the property moves into the operational phase. The role will start ideally asap to allow time for things to fully be set up before the summer season.

• Lovely, creative principals who have a balanced life, mixing some exciting events and hosting as well as more peaceful periods.

• There is a wider team onsite, made up of various different departments - with other staff also coming from a yachting background.

• Salary will be discussed at interview stage and is depending on experience, but is a good package.

• The work schedule will most likely be Thursday to Monday with some flexibility required.

• Staff will be given the UK standard leave package of 28 days off a year as well as the additional 2 days off during each week.

• Longevity will be rewarded, with an additional day of leave added for each year of employment. There is also a pension scheme and training is offered.

• Must hold a driving license and have own transport as the property is rural.

• Must have own accommodation as this will be a live out position.

• Must have the rights to work in the United Kingdom.
