Position: Live-out Private Chef Location: St John's Wood, London, UK Contract: Full-time, Permanent (Monday–Friday) Salary: Up to £120,000/year gross Accommodation: Not provided Services: up to 3 meals per day Start Date: ASAP (trial required, 1–5 days) Guests: Family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children under 10) Job description: A family of four, recently relocated from the United States to Central London, is seeking a full-time Private Chef to join their household from Monday to Friday. The role involves preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner for two adults and two children under the age of 10. The family enjoys healthy, vibrant, and family-style meals with a focus on quality, balance, and minimal food waste. Approximately 90% of the food should follow a gluten-free and dairy-free guideline. However, flexibility is essential, as the children may occasionally require meals outside of these parameters. The ideal candidate will be autonomous, highly organised, and confident managing a household kitchen independently. A calm, easy-going personality is a must, with the ability to take initiative and adapt to the family's lifestyle needs. The family has an international palate and enjoys global cuisine, reflecting their well-travelled background and previous experience with a private chef in the U.S. Responsibilities include managing the kitchen space, sourcing the best-quality ingredients, menu planning in line with dietary preferences, and maintaining a clean, well-run environment. While travel is not a core requirement, occasional short-term travel with the family (1 to 2 weeks maximum) may be requested at a later stage. Both employed and self-employed candidates will be considered. A trial of 1 to 5 days will be arranged with the family prior to a formal offer. This is a great opportunity to support a warm, welcoming family in achieving a healthier, more balanced lifestyle through thoughtful, expert culinary care. They genuinely value work–life balance and will collaborate closely with their chef to structure the schedule in a way that is both respectful and sustainable, ensuring the highest standard of service is consistently delivered.
