Do you have a special event coming up? Perhaps you are wanting to cater for a personal event at home?

Private chef jobs are one of the most sought after positions in the culinary world. Many top quality professional chefs may prefer to avoid the high-pressure environment of premier restaurants, and private chef jobs are perhaps the best alternative. Private kitchen positions also often offer more variety for the chef, being free from the restrictions of a set menu, and most often not being limited to a single style of cuisine.

However, unlike the restaurant world, private kitchen positions are rarely telegraphed through professional networks. Households and private clubs looking to fill a head chef position may either seek personal recommendations from acquaintances, advertise or rely on the services of a professional placement agency. From the employer's position, recommendations and placement agencies offer the most reliable method of filling a private chef position.

From the applicant's point of view, a professional placement agency is by far the best option. Seeking private chefs via word of mouth or employment ads is dangerous at best, whilst at Mise en Place, we can offer pre-screening for both employers and applicants, ensuring an appropriate match between chef and position
