We are recruiting for two part time, private chefs for two different clients in and around Manchester.
Both clients love fresh flavours and simple healthy food with the occasional sweet treat. Everyone in the family likes simple, nicely presented food, made from scratch with good quality ingredients. Think home cooking with an emphasis on lower fat and nicely balanced flavours.
If you are looking to make the transition to Private Chef from Restaurant Chef, this may well be the role for you, as full training and support will be given.
Even if you already have some experience in working as a chef in private households, we will train you to provide the service the way the client prefers.
Job A is in Central Manchester for a young couple. Two evenings a week, sometimes three evenings a week (days between Monday and Friday) to cook dinner (approx 5.00pm to 8.30pm).
Job B is in Bowden for a busy young family with children. The jobs is 4 (usually Monday to Thursday) days per week to cook lunch and dinner (approx 11.00am to 8.00pm. This timeframe allows for an hour to go shopping most days an hour break during the day, every day.)
Both roles are typical private chef roles that include discussing and finalising a menu, writing shopping lists, going shopping, preparing food, serving food and cleaning up the kitchen after serving.
We are looking for chefs who are good listeners (taking the order), flexible (timings may change) and chefs who are as comfortable melting into the background as they are talking to the client. Ability to interact with the client is very important. Being a private chef is about listening to the client's wishes and asking for clarification when needed.
You need to work cleanly and tidily. You will need to understand the basics of nutrition: protein, fats and carbs. You will need to be happy and relaxed working in someone's home.
For Job A it is extremely useful to have your own vehicle to do the food shopping.
For Job B it is ESSENTIAL that you have your own vehicle for shopping.
You must already be in the U.K. and be legal to work in the U.K.
Good rate of pay and great working environment.
Please state which job (A Manchester City centre or B Bowden) is your preference. Thank you.
