Summary

HIGHLY EXPERIENCED VERSATILE PRIVATE CHEF REQUIRED FOR UHNW FAMILY HOME IN LONDON

 

Where: Knightsbridge, London + travel

Contract: Full-time, Permanent

Salary: Negotiable

Status: Live-out

 

A lovely UHNW family based in Central London is looking to hire an experienced and talented Private Chef to join their household team on a permanent basis. Versatility, flexibility, and the ability to work as part of a team are essential requirements for this role, and successful candidate will have demonstrable experience working in similar roles.

 

Joining an established household and working collaboratively with the other chefs, the ideal candidate will have a good sense of humour, excellent communication skills and be warm and friendly in nature with the ability to multitask and take any unexpected changes in their stride. Preparing lunch and dinner for a family of 4, you should have a solid foundation in most world cuisines – they enjoy a range of different cuisine types, including Italian, Spanish, Pan-Asian and Mediterranean, though Italian is a firm favourite of theirs. Meals are generally served family style, but when entertaining meals might be plated and for larger numbers.

 

This is a live-out role in Central London at the family’s primary residence, but you will also be required to travel with the family (usually a few weeks at a time) with accommodation provided when not in London. Usually working on a 2-week on, 1-week off basis, the hours can vary depending on the family’s schedule, so the role requires someone not rigid in their schedule and able to offer some flexibility. The family are excellent employers who have a track record of long-term staff retainment, and the role also offers continued learning opportunities through various courses and workshops. A confident driver with a valid driving license is not essential but would be beneficial.

 

DUTIES TO INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO:

·       Working alongside other chefs and taking direction from the Chef Manager

·       Assisting the Chef Manager with menu planning, when required

·       Preparing high quality, wholesome, and varied family-style meals for the family

·       Liaising with the Chef Manager on stock control, inventory management and provisioning

·       Maintaining hygiene standards to the highest level

·       Travelling with the family to their countryside home & internationally

 

ESSENTIAL CRITERIA:

·       At least 15-20 years’ experience working in high-end restaurants or private households

·       Strict on hygiene procedures

·       Highly organised, motivated, and proactive

·       Strong team player with a can-do, happy to ‘muck-in’ attitude

·       Flexible, adaptable and able to multitask

·       Friendly, calm and warm with the ability to work in a fast-paced environment

·       Trustworthy, reliable, and discreet

·       Flexible in terms of working days/hours and willing to travel with the family

·       Eligibility to live and work in the UK

·       Excellent checkable references
