PRIVATE CHEF

The household consists of two principals, two school-aged children aged seven and five, and a newborn expected in February 2026. The family resides in a spacious private townhouse and values a calm, well-organised household environment with a strong emphasis on healthy living and balanced nutrition.

The family maintains a relaxed and informal lifestyle and does not entertain frequently, allowing the chef to focus primarily on day-to-day family cooking rather than formal dinner service. They are open-minded and flexible in terms of cuisine and enjoy variety, provided meals are nutritious and thoughtfully prepared. There are no food allergies or intolerances within the household. The family is seeking a professional who can work independently, plan ahead, and tailor menus to suit an active family lifestyle.

This is a full-time live-out position ideal for a Private Chef with strong nutritional knowledge, particularly experience in macro counting and menu planning.

The chef will work collaboratively with other household staff and is expected to be proactive, adaptable, and discreet.
