PRIVATE CHEF FOR UHNW FAMILY IN KENSINGTON – Up to £400 per day, 168 days per year

Description

(3 days a week + travel)

An UHNW family of four (two adults and two young children) based in Kensington is seeking a talented and flexible Private Chef to join their household team. The role is three days per week — Saturdays, Sundays, and one additional weekday — with up to 10 weeks of travel across the year, during school holidays.

You will prepare fresh, delicious, family-style meals using the finest ingredients. Typical dishes include homemade risottos, pastas, soups, and seasonal favourites. Occasionally, you may bake with the children (such as cupcakes or pizzas), so a warm, child-friendly approach is appreciated.

Each week, you will either prepare a menu plan in advance with the Principals or discuss and finalise the menu on the day based on fresh market produce and family preferences.

The ideal candidate will be discreet, well-organised, tidy, and highly professional, with experience working within private homes. You should have a strong knowledge of seasonal produce, an eye for presentation, and the ability to adapt to family routines and preferences.

Travel:

You must be happy to travel with the family for approximately 10 weeks across the year during school holidays, working 6 days a week during this time. Travel is usually within Europe and the UK, and all expenses are covered.

Key Details:

• Days: Saturday, Sunday, and one weekday

• Hours: 8/10am – 7/9pm (approximately 9 hours with a break during the day)

• Travel: Approx. 10 weeks per year in total across the year (working 7 days during travel)

• Salary: Up to £400 per day. Overtime paid

• Employment: Self-employed

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a warm, professional, and supportive household team and build a long-term role within a prestigious private setting.
