Chef - Sole Chef - Live-in Position

Job Description & Pictures
We're recruiting for a talented and self-motivated Chef to join a small luxury hotel set in one of Scotland's most scenic Highland areas. This role suits someone who enjoys working independently, creating thoughtful dishes, and thriving in a calm, rural environment where quality matters more than volume.
The hotel is open February - December and although this is nominally a seasonal role, the employer would love to talk to chefs looking to commit longer term.
Perfect for chefs with chalet, lodge, private catering or remote-living backgrounds, this is also a great opportunity for hospitality couples looking to make a lifestyle move together.
The Role
- Produce a high-quality evening dining experience along with a well-executed breakfast service.
- Prepare and deliver seasonal menus with freedom to create and refine dishes.
- Work largely solo in the kitchen, supported by an owner-manager who handles the admin, ordering accounts, and wider paperwork.
- Maintain excellent organisation, cleanliness and prep standards day-to-day.
- Operate within a well-equipped kitchen, including an Athanor cooking suite.
About You
- Proven experience as a Senior Chef in a high-quality hotel, chalet, lodge or rural dining environment.
- Comfortable working independently and managing a clean, organised kitchen.
- Strong understanding of seasonal cooking and local Scottish produce.
- Creative, reliable, consistent, and happy in a quieter rural lifestyle.
- A positive team player who works well with owners and small teams.
What's On Offer
- £35,000 salary
- Live-in accommodation, also suitable for couples - additional roles considered
- A relaxed, supportive working environment in an exclusive rural property
- A lifestyle choice as much as a job - space, scenery, and a slower pace outside of service
If you're a capable, self-reliant chef looking for a rewarding role in a beautiful Highland setting, we'd love to hear from you. As a dedicated hospitality recruiter, we have a diverse and ever-changing variety of roles we are working on, so we are always on the lookout for talented hospitality professionals.
