Our client is searching for a professional full-time Private Chef for their low-key, casual, yet refined, San Francisco residence. The ideal Chef candidate will have strong longevity in past full-time Private Chef and high-profile restaurant positions. We are searching for candidates who are self-starters and team players, who enjoy making the lives of their employers healthier, and easier! Chefs who are interested in this opportunity should be able to change gears quickly, from the typical day which is quiet and predictable, to executing a successful (simple) dinner party for twenty, with very short notice. The ability to “wing-it”, while remaining calm and professional is key for this position. Health-conscious, organic and local, foods preferred. Qualified candidates will be scheduled for trial dinners and paid an hourly rate for their time.
