Role overview
This is an on-site private chef position for a client in Arlington Estate, Harare. The role is described as a permanent stay-in arrangement, and the chef will be responsible for preparing daily meals in line with the household’s preferences, dietary needs, and the availability of seasonal ingredients.
Key duties
The chef will handle meal planning and preparation, shop for groceries, keep track of kitchen stock, and maintain a clean, well-organized cooking space. The role also includes creating menus for special occasions, syncing meal timing with the household routine, and serving food in an attractive and professional way. Clear communication with the household, flexibility to changing needs, and a courteous, discreet manner are essential.

The role also calls for dependable time management, strong organization, independence, and composure when working under pressure. Good communication, interpersonal professionalism, and discretion are required. Culinary training or a cooking course is helpful, and a formal culinary school qualification is an added advantage but not compulsory.
