Part-Time Private Chef / Experienced Home Cook
Flexible Hours | Home-Based / Remote Option | Bury & Surrounding Areas
We are looking for an experienced and talented part-time Chef / Home Cook to prepare a variety of high-quality, fresh and healthy meals for a small private group of individuals company directors
This is not a conventional restaurant chef position. We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys cooking excellent food and takes pride in preparing fresh, varied and beautifully presented meals.
The position is flexible and could particularly suit an experienced chef, semi-retired chef or highly accomplished home cook looking for flexible part-time work.
The Role
The successful person will prepare a changing selection of meals according to individual requirements and preferences.
We are particularly interested in someone who can cook a wider variety of cuisines and dishes, rather than specialising in only one particular style.
Meals should be fresh, flavoursome and of an excellent standard, with a strong emphasis on healthy and nutritious cooking.
Dishes may range from excellent traditional home-cooked meals through to more sophisticated or exquisite dishes.
Flexible / Home-Based Working
There is considerable flexibility around how the position can operate.
For the right person, meals could potentially be prepared remotely from their own suitable kitchen and then delivered, rather than requiring the chef to attend every day.
Alternatively, some cooking may take place at our premises depending on requirements.
We are open-minded about the arrangement and are more interested in finding the right person and the right quality of cooking.

* Someone who already cooks professionally from home and is looking for additional regular clients
You should be confident preparing a broad range of dishes and able to demonstrate a genuine understanding of fresh, healthy and high-quality food.
Formal restaurant experience is advantageous but not essential if you can demonstrate an exceptional standard of cooking.
Hours
This is a part-time and flexible position.
The number of hours and days may vary depending upon the cooking requirements of the individuals involved.
We are happy to discuss an arrangement that works for both parties, including preparation on particular days of the week and preparing multiple meals at the same time.
