🕌 Private Chef — UHNW Household, Dubai

🍽 Opportunity A private UHNW household in Dubai is hiring a full-time Private Chef through Marcilly Recruitment, with pay reaching AED 40,000 a month, tax-free, for the right candidate. The role isn't confined to one kitchen — it moves with the family, including extended stretches aboard their yacht, so this suits a chef who wants a single employer but a genuinely varied working life. 👨‍🍳 Role - Prepare daily family meals and formal entertainment-level events for a private UHNW household - Collaborate with existing culinary and household staff rather than working solo - Travel between residences domestically and internationally as the family relocates - Cook aboard the family's yacht for extended periods, managing menus around changing schedules 🌎 ChefJobs Abroad Analysis This is private household cooking at the top of the market — AED 25,000–40,000 a month is a serious, tax-free income in Dubai, and the role's scope, residences plus a private yacht, means real variety rather than repeating the same menu in the same kitchen for years. Michelin or fine-dining experience is strongly preferred, which signals the standard expected, but two years in a similar UHNW role is the stated minimum, not a decade. The trade-off that comes with any private household role applies here too: discretion, adaptability and genuine comfort working around a family's changing schedule matter as much as technical skill. ⭐ ChefJobs Rating: 7.9/10 ✅ Best Fit - Chefs with proven experience cooking for UHNW or prominent private households, minimum 2 years in a similar role - Michelin or fine-dining trained chefs ready to move into private service - Those with prior yacht galley experience, or open to picking it up as part of the role - Discreet, calm, adaptable chefs comfortable working closely with a family and existing household staff - Candidates who want variety — residences plus time at sea — over a single fixed kitchen - Chefs happy to relocate to Dubai and travel internationally with the family as needed
