Full job descriptionSilver & Bow are looking for a nutrition-focused Private Chef to join a couple based in Brentwood, Essex. The principals take great care of themselves and are looking for a chef who can work closely with them, their nutritionist and personal trainer to support their health and wellness goals.
The ideal candidate will have a genuine passion for nutrition, understand exactly what should be on the plate and why, and be able to translate this into delicious, flavourful meals that are both healthy and perfectly suited to the principals’ needs.
Meals will be mostly simple, family-style cooking day to day, with more elevated dishes from time to time, as well as occasional dinner parties, so a flexible approach is essential. There will also be occasions when you’ll prepare meals for the children, so a good understanding of nutritious, balanced and appealing children’s food is important.


Duties:
Preparing breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks
Collaborating with the principals and nutritionist to create tailored menus aligned with their nutritional goals
Ordering, shopping and provisioning
Preparing meals for the children when required
Maintaining a clean and organised kitchen
Supporting with occasional entertaining and dinner parties


Requirements:
Strong understanding of nutrition and how to tailor meals accordingly
Experience cooking for professional athletes is highly desirable
Confident, flavour-driven approach to healthy cooking
Ability to adapt between family-style meals, elevated dining and entertaining
Excellent knowledge of fresh, seasonal produce and healthy cooking techniques
Professional and discreet
Confident driver
Based within approximately one hour’s commute of Brentwood


The principals travel throughout the year, so there will be periods when the chef is not required to work. Flexibility around the family’s schedule is important.




Days: Monday–Friday, with flexibility
Salary: £60,000–£100,000 gross per annum
Start: ASAP
