Female Private Chef – Dublin

We are working exclusively with a family in Dublin to hire a female private chef to join their family. This is ideally a live out role so is more suitable for someone already living in Dublin or within a commutable distance. If you live in the area, you will be prioritised. The family can potentially provide live-in accommodation, so if you do not live in the area then you are still welcome to apply.

The family consists of mum, dad and 4 children aged between 10yrs and 18yrs. We are looking for a health-conscious chef who can provide nutritious meals for the entire family. No breakfast is required, lunch may be required for mum and dad when they are home, followed by dinner for the 4 children late afternoon, and an evening meal for the parents later in the evening with healthy snacks readily available. They are looking for fairly traditional Irish family style meals most of the time but with the ability to cater fine dining menus for when they entertain.

This is 5-day working week with flexibility required.
