Temporary Private Chef Sought for Family in Central London

A family of four based in Knightsbridge, SW1, are looking for a temporary Chef for a six-week placement beginning in November and running to mid-December. There is the possibility of the role becoming full-time in the new year when the family returns from overseas. 

Package Offered 

  • £350 - £500 + gross per day depending on experience
  • The opportunity for this to become a full-time role

Family Background 

The couple have two young children, a friendly dog and are based between Toronto and London. They mostly enjoy eating in the comfort of their own home and enjoy a range of cuisines, though they typically stick to a vegan or majoritively plant-based diet. They are looking for a professional personal chef with excellent domestic experience for this position, which may extend to full-time employment. 

Duties 

The ideal candidate will be tasked with producing lunch and dinner for the family each day as well as leaving the fridge and larder stocked with produce and meals for when you are not at the property. The family enjoy eating a range of flavours and cuisines each week with an emphasis on plant-based dishes made with ethically sourced organic produce. As such, experience catering for vegan meals is a must. The property has a fully equipped kitchen and any extra equipment needed can be provided. The couple do not tend to entertain or host dinner parties often so this is not a regular requirement of the position, though should they be hosting a dinner party on an evening, flexibility to cater in person is expected. 

There is the potential of a second temporary stint or of the role becoming full time. The family have property around the world but spend the majority of their time between London and Toronto. As such a full time position would require travelling. 

Location/Accommodation

The family are based in Knightsbridge, SW1. This is a live-out role

Days/Hours

  • Monday to Friday, 10:00am – 18:00pm
