Job Description

We are seeking a talented and detail-oriented part-time private chef to join a nutrition-led private household located in the San Francisco Bay Area, specifically around Palo Alto. This family values precision and a disciplined approach to cooking, emphasizing structured meal preparation aligned with specific dietary frameworks. The household operates with clearly defined standards and repeatable systems, ensuring every meal meets exacting nutritional and quality requirements. This role is perfect for chefs who excel within a systemized cooking environment, enjoy working with high-quality ingredients, and appreciate working closely with a family committed to health, wellness, and performance-focused nutrition.

The hiring establishment is a private household that maintains a stringent approach to meal preparation, leveraging approved organic suppliers and gentle cooking techniques to preserve nutritional integrity. Each chef day involves working fully in the client’s home kitchen to prepare, batch, portion, and store meals according to an established framework that supports optimal health outcomes. Collaborating with the broader Biospan team, the chef will contribute by logging meals and notes to enhance consistency and continuously improve the cooking process.

The position is part-time, requiring a commitment of 2 full chef days per week. The chef will be responsible for managing all aspects of meal preparation on-site, including shopping for approved, high-quality ingredients, and maintaining an impeccably clean and organized kitchen. A calm, discreet presence is essential, as the chef will be operating in a private home setting, requiring professionalism and respect for privacy.

Compensation for this role is competitive, offered at USD 350 per day, with reimbursements provided for groceries. This model supports chefs who thrive in part-time roles while maintaining high standards of culinary execution. For chefs with a passion for health-centered cooking, an interest in nutrition, and the desire to work in a structured private household environment, this opportunity provides a unique platform to deliver your culinary skills in a meaningful and impactful way.
