Step 1 of 2

Apply for Chef

  • About 5–7 minutes
  • Saved as you type
  • Urdu or English
This role requires
  • 5+ years of paid cooking in a professional setting
  • Kitchen hygiene every day: hands washed, nails short, hair covered, apron on
  • Loading the dishwasher, washing pots and pans, and keeping the kitchen clean after cooking
  • A past employer or supervisor we may call

Before you begin: this role requires the must-haves above and a CV. A recorded introduction is optional. On duty we ask for a uniform, neat grooming, your phone put away, no smoking, naswar or gutka, and complete discretion about the family. If this does not describe you yet, it is better to wait than to apply now.

Your CV completes your application

Next, upload your CV. If you wish, you can also record a short introduction right here in your browser. No other app or account is needed.

Your video is optional and is not needed to submit.

If you record an optional video: what to cover (9)
  • Dress as you would for your first day at work: clean, ironed, neat.
  • Greet the family as you would on your first morning, and say your name.
  • Tell us how many years you have done this work, and the type of places you have worked: say ‘a 5-star hotel’ or ‘a family home with several staff’, never a family's name or address.
  • One standard you never compromise on, and why.
  • Then the demonstration for your role (below), and when you could start.
  • One take is fine. No music, filters or editing, and do not film anyone's home or family.
  • Show a healthy dish you cooked and plated yourself, today or recently: the real food, not a photo.
  • Say roughly how much protein one portion has, and how you would adapt it to a written dietary requirement.
  • Show your hands and your work surface: clean, apron on, hair covered.
