Job Description

A private UHNW household is seeking an experienced and well-established Domestic Couple to join their residence in St. Moritz, with regular travel to Saint-Tropez and occasional international destinations.

This is a long-term opportunity within a structured and fully staffed household. The role has been redesigned following the departure of a long-standing private chef, with a shift toward a couple-based setup combining culinary responsibilities and household coordination.

The position is ideally suited to candidates looking for stability, autonomy, and a long-term engagement within a respectful and well-managed environment.

  • During periods of residence (approximately 7–8 months per year), provide full service aligned with the household schedule.
  • During off-periods (approximately 4–5 months), maintain the property with reduced hours and no cooking responsibilities.

Job Requirements

  • Proven background as a private chef, domestic couple, or within high-level private households.

  • Household Experience: Comfortable working in formal, fully staffed environments with a clear understanding of service standards.
  • Personal Qualities: Discreet, professional, well-presented, and adaptable.
  • Flexibility: Open to travel and changing schedules throughout the year.

Additional Requirements

  • Fluent English
  • Additional languages (German, French, Italian) are a plus
  • Driving licence required (ideally both candidates)
  • Non-smokers

Working Conditions
