We are looking for chef who is able to show dedication to their work along with the ability to produce food that is tasty, attractive and precisely presented. A wide cooking repertoire is prerequisite, as is a natural love of sourcing wonderful, top quality ingredients, which can be used in healthy and diet conscious dishes. Candidates must offer flexibility with their hours of work and be able to change their own schedule so that the client's needs are catered - their plans can, and do, change at the last minute! Candidates that come with a calm nature, vivid imagination, and a natural ability to rustle up "something from nothing', with enthusiasm and flair, (rather than a sulk!) would certainly be warmly welcomed! Candidates must have a formal training, gathered in respected restaurants and private households and must offer longevity in their previous positions along with a career path that is coherent and logical. This position is Live Out – no accommodation is provided in Banbury. Primary Residence: Banbury near Oxford, requiring occasional travel Second Home: Suffolk, Bury St Edmunds (the family normally spend school holidays and Christmas here). Accommodation, comprised of a 1-bedroom apartment can be provided when in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk (partners may stay with Chef during Covid) but no accommodation can be provided in Banbury, so the Chef must live within an easy commute of the Banbury property. Hours of Work During Covid | Monday-Friday | 10am – 6pm The family enjoy cooking for themselves at weekends but will require prepared ingredients to enable them to do so, some pre-weekend preparation may be requested. Post Covid/Normal Days/Hours | Monday-Friday | 7am -7pm With a break in the afternoon, must be flexible and willing to work a weekend when there are guests and also some evenings if there are dinner parties or guests. Position Overview Candidates must have a very good understanding of Nutrition and what Healthy living entails. We are looking for someone who is passionate about food and the ingredients used, while showing they are capable of catering for various dietary requirements (including food intolerances and working with health restrictions) while showing they can embrace the restrictions while still being creative. Candidates must be able to step-up-to-the-plate, and cook to a dinner party standard when required, but be happy cooking simple home-styled but healthy family favorites. Candidates must have high standards in themselves, and be highly flexible in their approach, showing they can deal with change at short notice. The family are very down to earth, and they are nurturing a relaxed home and work environment so there is no room for ego. We are looking for someone with a passion for healthy living. Experience working in a private household, working for high net worth individuals or running their own restaurant is advantageous but not essential. We would like someone with a strong work ethic, and whose CV shows longevity and loyalty to previous roles and employers. JOB REFERENCE
