Chef, Boca Raton, FL - PLACED

PRIVATE CHEF

Private Family | Boca Raton, Florida
$150,000+ DOE | Full-Time, Year-Round

We are seeking a highly capable and experienced Private Chef to support a lovely family in Boca Raton, Florida. The household consists of Mom and Dad, both in their 40s, and two young girls, ages 5 and 7.

The family is looking for an excellent Chef who is extremely clean, organized, professional, and genuinely interested in finding a long-term home. A Michelin-star or elevated fine-dining background would certainly be welcomed; however, it is not essential for the right Chef with strong private experience and wonderful references.

The Food

The family enjoys primarily healthy, fresh food with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients, fruits and vegetables, seafood, and beautifully prepared everyday meals.

The children eat primarily vegetarian; however, Mom and Dad would like to encourage them to explore new foods, flavors, and gradually develop their palates. Somebody who enjoys cooking for children and can make food interesting and approachable would be ideal.

The family is Jewish and does not eat pork or shellfish.

Important allergy: Walnuts. The Chef must understand food allergies, cross-contamination, and proper kitchen sanitation.

Schedule

The general schedule is:

• Monday and Tuesday: Working
• Wednesday: Off
• Thursday and Friday: Working, primarily dinner service
• Saturday: Lunch and dinner preparation if the family is in residence
• Sunday: Off

Breakfast is generally not required. Lunch can be prepared and left for the following day. Some flexibility around entertaining, holidays, and the family's schedule will be appreciated.

This is a full-time, year-round position, and the family would like to engage somebody sooner rather than later.

Responsibilities

The Chef will take ownership of the kitchen, including menu planning, grocery shopping, sourcing quality ingredients, food preparation, pantry and refrigerator organization, inventory, stocking beverages and water, labeling, and maintaining an immaculate kitchen.

This is a hands-on position. The Chef should be physically fit and comfortable grocery shopping, carrying and putting away groceries, stocking the pantry and kitchen, and handling all the normal responsibilities associated with maintaining a private family kitchen. Setting the table and proper meal service are also important parts of the position. (The home is not formal) 

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for somebody experienced, discreet, flexible, and easy to have around the home. A Michelin-star, fine-dining, luxury hospitality, or similarly elevated culinary background would be advantageous, but equally important is somebody who understands private service and wants to become part of a household long-term.

Candidates must have a clean background, clean driving record, legal authorization to work in the United States, and outstanding professional references.

Only candidates with wonderful, verifiable references will be considered.

Compensation & Benefits

$150,000+ annually, depending on experience and culinary background.

Industry-standard PTO, including two weeks paid vacation, one week paid sick leave, and a medical stipend.

This opportunity was referred to us through a family office we have worked with for many years. We would like to find somebody exceptional for the family—an experienced Chef who takes pride in their food, understands the standards of a beautiful private home, and is looking for a stable, long-term opportunity.

Possible relocation assistance for candidates who meet all requirements.
