PERMANENT FULL-TIME LIVE-IN OR LIVE-OUT CHEF JOB
NOTTINGHAM | NOTTINGHAMSHIRE | GB
SALARY: FROM £30 PER HOUR GROSS
Set within a beautiful private home in the Nottingham area, this is a wonderful opportunity to join a warm and easy-going household. The couple in their are true creatures of habit, with a particular fondness for classic English cuisine, including a much-loved fish and chip Friday. The family is looking for a kind, capable Chef to step in and take the pressure off the kitchen — with a genuine possibility of the role evolving further down the line, including potential future opportunities aboard the family's private yacht.
Working as a private Chef in this household is a refreshingly straightforward and rewarding role, ideal for someone who takes pride in cooking honest, comforting food to a consistently high standard. The role is centred entirely around provisioning and meal preparation — typically a prepared lunch and dinner each working day — with no housekeeping responsibilities attached. The family is relaxed in style but does expect food to be cooked to the standard they have come to expect from years of private and luxury yacht catering.
Perfect Household Staff has been assisting professional Chefs in finding fantastic domestic staffing jobs for over 15 years. We are one of the top boutique Chef agencies in the UK, and registering with us — along with applying for any of our roles — is completely free of charge for professional jobseekers. If you are looking to be employed as a Chef, you have come to exactly the right place, and we look forward to helping you find a fantastic Chef job.
