Job Description

Our client is a large family spending the winter season in Florida, seeking an experienced live-in chef to provide exceptional culinary services and personal care. This role involves working closely with the family to create nutritious, delicious meals tailored to their preferences and dietary needs in an intimate and home-based setting. Providing this culinary care requires not only professional expertise but also flexibility, as the assignment shifts between two prime Florida locations: Siesta Key and Orlando. The family values a respectful, trustworthy, and discreet chef who can seamlessly integrate within their household, ensuring all meals are meticulously prepared and presented.

The position is live-in, with private housing provided, offering a comfortable and secure environment for the chef. This opportunity is perfect for a dedicated culinary professional who enjoys working in diverse kitchen environments and has the adaptability to manage culinary duties in different homes. Working in the exclusive environments of Siesta Key and Orlando, the chef will be responsible for not just cooking but also maintaining kitchen cleanliness, managing grocery shopping and inventory, and adhering to the highest standards of food safety and hygiene.

The ideal candidate must be fluent in English to ensure clear communication with the family and any other household staff. Additionally, the position requires passing comprehensive background checks, health, and drug screenings to comply with the family\'s standards for safety and trustworthiness. A valid driver\'s license is mandatory, and having a personal vehicle is preferred to provide the flexibility and independence needed for errands and commuting between locations.

No pets are allowed in this setting, placing importance on the chef\'s ability to maintain a pet-free home environment. The employment terms emphasize a professional and dedicated approach to managing the family\'s culinary needs throughout the winter season in Florida. This role offers a unique chance to work in an exceptional live-in arrangement while utilizing and further developing culinary skills in a supportive and vibrant family atmosphere. This assignment ensures a dynamic and rewarding work experience, ideal for a chef seeking both stability and variety in their career.
