Job title: Private Chef

Job Description

The Opportunity

A distinguished private household in Miami is seeking a talented and health-conscious Private Chef to prepare wholesome, home-style meals with a strong focus on gut health, brain health, and everyday wellbeing.

This is a full-time, live-out Private Chef role in Miami for a confident, discreet, and highly organised chef with proven private household experience. The ideal candidate will understand wellness-led cooking, Mediterranean and Turkish-inspired cuisine, organic ingredients, and the standards expected in a high-end private residence.

About the Household and Principal

The Principal prefers clean, nourishing food that is balanced, comforting, flavourful, and not overly rich or restaurant-style. The focus is on simple, elegant home cooking that supports health, energy, digestion, and overall wellbeing.

This role will suit a Private Chef who can create thoughtful daily menus, manage a calm and well-organised kitchen, and adapt smoothly to the rhythm of a private household.

Why this role

This is an excellent opportunity for a Private Chef in Miami who enjoys refined private household cooking rather than formal restaurant-style presentation.

The role combines wellness-focused menu planning, Mediterranean and Turkish-inspired flavours, high-quality organic produce, daily cooking for the Principal, staff lunch preparation, and full kitchen organisation. It suits a chef who is discreet, independent, flexible, and confident working to high private service standards.

Key Responsibilities

Daily cooking and meal preparation

  • Prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily for the Principal, with flexibility to pre-prepare evening meals when needed.

  • Provide daily lunch for approximately five household staff.

  • Create weekly menus inspired by Mediterranean, Turkish, and European cuisines, with a focus on light, nutritious, and easily digestible meals.

  • Prioritise wellness-focused food over complexity, using organic, seasonal, and high-quality ingredients.

  • Prepare meals in advance when scheduled days off require it.

  • Occasionally cater for last-minute guests, keeping a flexible, calm, and can-do attitude.

Kitchen management and organisation

  • Oversee grocery shopping, stock replenishment, pantry organisation, and kitchen readiness.

  • Source and use the best available organic produce, quality ingredients, and trusted local suppliers.

  • Maintain a calm, clutter-free, hygienic, and well-run private household kitchen, supported by a team who assist with serving and cleaning.

  • Manage stock effectively and ensure the kitchen is always organised, prepared, and ready for the Principal's needs.

Requirements

Must-haves

Candidates without the following will not be considered.

  • Fully eligible to work in the US.

  • Proven experience as a Private Chef in a high-standard private household, UHNW household, HNW residence, luxury villa, yacht, or comparable private service environment.

  • Strong knowledge of healthy, nutrient-rich cooking, wellness-focused menus, gut-friendly food, and dietary balance.

  • Turkish and Mediterranean cooking experience highly valued.

  • Ability to create simple, flavourful, home-style meals that support overall wellbeing.

  • Excellent organisational skills, stock management, menu planning, and kitchen systems.

  • Confident, discreet, calm, and able to work independently.

  • Passionate about sourcing and using the best organic produce.

  • Flexible and dependable, with a polished, service-minded approach.

Working in this household

The Principal values clean, nourishing, home-style food that supports gut and brain health. The expectation is thoughtful, balanced cooking rather than restaurant-style complexity.

When the Principal is in residence, the role requires full flexibility and a proactive approach. When the Principal is away, the pace is lighter, with a focus on preparation, kitchen organisation, pantry management, and maintaining readiness.

  • Contract: Full-time, live-out.

  • Location: Miami, Florida, USA.

  • Working pattern: Full flexibility required when the Principal is in residence. Duties are significantly lighter when the Principal is away.
