The chef will work closely with the family's other chef to provide food coverage throughout the week.

A driving licence is required for kitchen provisioning and household errands.

Food and cuisine preferences:
The family enjoys Italian, Mediterranean, modern American, and Japanese cuisine. They are looking for healthy, varied, and flavourful everyday cooking, prepared with care, good taste, and consistency.

The compensation on offer is $180,000+ per year, plus benefits. The role can be offered on a W-2 basis, with eligibility for a monthly healthcare stipend and 401(k) matching. The position is live-out, with accommodation not provided. The 2 weeks off after each 2-week working period form part of the rotational package, the chef must be flexible for longer or shorter work period when and if required by the family's schedule.

Additional information:
The family is looking for a chef with 5+ years of Private Chef experience who is friendly, clean, organised, and very flexible. The chef must be comfortable working in a private home with children and supporting the wider household when required.
