Job description:

 

A high-profile, very private family based in the Bay Area in California, is seeking a team of  2 x Private Chefs   to reinforce their household team.

The chefs will work in tandem , rotating on a flexible schedule of up to  1 week On followed by 1 week Off  (or  4 days on / 4 days off with alternating weekends).

Occasional travel to the family’s other residence in the US may be required.

The family maintains a   hyper-healthy diet   and due to   d ietary restrictions   operates a   gluten-free kitchen,   they have a strong preference for colourful and beautifully presented farm-to-table cuisine,   organic and Mediterranean-style cuisine . 

Chefs will have access to the family's preferred Organic farm and chosen suppliers to supply fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, honey, and more incredible produce.

The role includes a wide range of responsibilities: daily menu planning, preparing varied family meals with a   strong focus on nutrition , managing kitchen inventory, and assisting with “side work” such as labelling, food prep for trips, or collaborating with the household team.

The   kitchen is professionally equipped   and annexed to the residence.

Candidates must be adaptable to changing food preferences and can deliver consistently high-quality meals without the need for Michelin-level refinement.

A strong emphasis is placed on teamwork, flexibility, and discretion.

The position includes an incredible benefits package, relocation bonus, and the option of a 3-month temporary housing arrangement. 

Due to the family’s timeline, trials will be scheduled ASAP, and preference is given to U.S.-based chefs.

All candidates will be required to   sign an NDA before receiving further information   about the role.
