Italian Chef – Switzerland

This is an incredible opportunity for an accomplished Chef. You will be catering for the main Principal, his wife and their two young children who attend an Italian school locally.

Accommodation will be arranged for you by the client’s HR team. We expect this may come in the form of your own apartment within the resort.

The right candidate will have an extensive repertoire and a good knowledge of international ingredients and cooking methods. The Chef must have the ability to deliver flavoursome dishes with an emphasis on health and well-being. Achieving well-balanced, healthy dishes without compromising on flavour is the aim.

The Principal has several dietary requirements that must be carefully catered to. These will be discussed directly with any shortlisted applicants.

Candidates should be confident, have high-energy, be accustomed to working in high-profile households and have an endless passion for food.

You will have access to a fully equipped kitchen and the best ingredients available. The Principal has a large estate and additional residences around the globe. Travel is not expected at this time, however, you are required to be flexible.

It is vital that candidates speak Italian as the role is based close to the Italian border and you will be required to liaise with additional household staff and suppliers in Italian.
