Job description

Are you a chef who wants to escape the toxic kitchen workplace and work directly with private clients?

Join the movement to fight against the processed junk-food giants favour of powerful organic, home-cooked meals - the fuel that made humans into the most successful species on our planet.

Become a Biochef at Biospan, where you'll create powerful, bespoke meals for private clients - working directly in their homes. Dive into a world of performance cooking and nutrition, handpicking the finest organic ingredients. You'll team up with nutrition experts, learn the art of nutritious meal prep, and directly see the life-changing effects your cooking has on clients. It's more than a job; you'll be changing people's lives everyday.

At Biospan, you'll get hands‑on training from our nutritional experts and head chef. Learn to craft custom nutrition-packed menus, select the finest organic produce, and cook meals that are as nutritious as they are flavourful. It's a masterclass in taking cooking to the next level.

If you value nutrition, fitness, and natural living, we want you to apply. (The ideal candidate is trustworthy, organised, and always willing to go the extra mile.)

About the Role

A great opportunity for a live‑out chef to work within a private household in the Cotswolds. This is a family household, but your main responsibility will be cooking for the principals.

The principals are health‑conscious and follow a strict high performance nutritional plan. They require someone who can work with a nutritionist and strength and conditioning team to create meals within a calorie/macro plan but also varied and delicious.

The family occasionally entertains at home so the Chef should also be comfortable with dinner parties and cooking for guests. Discretion and trustworthiness are essential.

The candidate must be willing to travel as the family may live in other locations (both in the UK and overseas) for short work projects.

• Flexibility to travel with the family if required.
