Live-In Private Chef

Live-In Private Chef - Leatherhead, Surrey, £55,000-£65,000 GPA DOE
Separate Accommodation & Car Provided
Option to live out if based locally

One of our favourite long-standing clients is seeking a live-in Private Chef for their beautiful home in Surrey. This is a rare opportunity to work in a warm, welcoming household with a well-established team - many of whom have been with the family for over 10 years.
This is a family-focused role, preparing home-style meals to a high standard. The property is mainly used for weekends and school holidays, so there are quieter periods when the family is not in residence. You will also collaborate with another chef based at their London property when supporting larger events.
Key Responsibilities:

• Prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner when the principals are in residence
• Cook for both casual family meals and more formal occasions (e.g. birthdays, canapé receptions, events for up to 120 guests)
• Provide cover during key family periods such as Christmas, New Year, Easter, school holidays, and weekends
• Work 5 days per week, with flexibility to adjust days based on the family’s schedule
• Assist around the house as needed, working as part of a collaborative and supportive team

Package:

• Salary: £55,000-£65,000 GPA depending on experience
• Accommodation: High-quality, self-contained flat separate from the main house
• Car provided for work use
• Live-out option available for candidates based locally

This role would suit a friendly, down-to-earth chef who is confident preparing delicious, home-cooked meals and enjoys being part of a close-knit household team. If you're looking for a long-term position in a respectful, well-run private household, we would love to hear from you.
