The position supports two families: one household of five and another of four, with children ranging from 4 to 8 years old.

This is a warm, family-oriented role suited to a chef who enjoys preparing nutritious and appealing food for both adults and children. The ideal candidate will be equally comfortable preparing simple everyday family meals and more sophisticated dishes for entertaining or special occasions.

A key part of the position will be creating a positive relationship with the children, who may occasionally enjoy joining the chef in the kitchen. The family is looking for someone who sees cooking as an opportunity to encourage curiosity around food and healthy eating.

  • Encourage children to develop a positive relationship with food and healthy eating.
  • Maintain a patient, calm and safety-conscious approach when children are present in the kitchen.

Grocery Shopping & Kitchen Management

  • Manage grocery shopping and sourcing for both households.
  • Select fresh, high-quality ingredients and maintain strong relationships with local suppliers where appropriate.
  • Monitor food inventory across both kitchens.
  • Maintain appropriate food supplies and minimise unnecessary waste.
  • Manage food budgets and purchasing efficiently.
  • Keep both kitchens clean, organised and fully prepared for daily use.
  • Maintain excellent food safety, hygiene and storage standards.

Schedule & Flexibility

  • Divide the working week between the two residences according to an agreed schedule.
  • Coordinate meal preparation around the different routines and requirements of both families.
  • Demonstrate flexibility around occasional weekend requirements.
  • Where necessary, accommodate schedule changes, such as taking a weekday off in exchange for working a Saturday or Sunday.

Job Requirements

  • Proven experience as a Private Chef, Family Chef, Personal Chef or chef in a high-quality restaurant environment.
  • Comfortable preparing a broad range of cuisines and adapting menus to different preferences.
  • Genuine enjoyment of cooking for children and adults.
  • Patient, warm and comfortable interacting with young children.
  • Strong understanding of family-style and nutritious cooking.
  • Highly organised and capable of managing the food requirements of two households.
  • Strong knowledge of food safety, hygiene and kitchen organisation.
  • ServSafe certification or equivalent food safety qualification is an advantage.
  • Valid US driver’s licence and own reliable vehicle required.
  • Discreet, trustworthy and respectful of private family life.
  • Reliable, punctual and able to work independently.
  • Positive, flexible and solutions-oriented personality.
  • Excellent professional references.
