As the primary Cook in the Household of TRH The Earl and Countess of Wessex, you will be responsible for the planning, preparation and cooking of daily meals. You will also monitor and replenish food supplies and equipment for the household.

On a day-to-day basis you will prepare all meals for the Principals. You will also have the opportunity to cook for formal and official events such as lunches and dinner parties.

As part of this small but busy team, you will also undertake certain house-keeping duties to support the running of the household. This will include maintaining the cleanliness and presentation of the kitchen areas.

The position would suit an enthusiastic chef towards the start of their career who is keen to develop their experiences and skills in a unique working environment.

Possessing a City and Guilds catering qualification (or equivalent), you will have previous experience in a similar role, and feel confident cooking for small and large numbers, and for a wide variety of occasions.

With excellent organisational skills, you're able to plan and prepare menus within an agreed budget.

You have an exceptional eye for detail and will be committed to providing high standards of cleanliness and presentation.

With a motivated and pro-active attitude to work, you will be eager to get involved with other tasks in support of the wider household.

You will enjoy working as part of a small team but can also work well independently and with initiative.

Due to the nature of the role, a UK/EU driving license with your own transport will also be required.

 

You can look forward to a comprehensive benefits package, including a 15% employer contribution pension scheme (with the option for flexibility - to increase contributions or draw down as salary), 33 days annual leave (including bank holidays), lunch will be provided and access to training and development to support your continuing professional development.
