Full time private chef at home

A full time private chef through Biospan costs from £80,500 to £138,000 a year in the UK, all in, with groceries billed separately at cost. Your BioChef cooks clean, organic food to your personalised nutrition five to six days a week, so your household can switch off from food. Unlimited chef trials before you appoint, each paid at the chef's day rate, and an annual replacement guarantee are included. Choose your region in the pricing section for the US, Canada and Europe.

Your full time private chef is salaried, and what you pay is your chef's salary plus our fee. All in, that runs from £80,500 to £138,000 a year in the UK, $138,000 to $184,000 in the US, C$103,500 to C$161,000 in Canada and €80,500 to €138,000 in Europe. Your final figure reflects your chef's experience, schedule, travel and the complexity of your household. Depending on your region, your household may also want to offer benefits alongside the salary, such as holiday, health insurance and a pension.

Tell us about your household, your schedule and what you want your chef to own on Find My BioChef. We search our network, shortlist candidates and arrange trials in your kitchen. You appoint the chef you want and sign your contract directly with your chef, with background checks complete first.

It covers your household's food, within reason. Your BioChef sources your ingredients, cooks from scratch and covers breakfast, lunch and dinner for your family, and serves your guests when you have them. Five to six days describes your chef's recurring working pattern rather than a limit on meals, and your exact hours, days and service expectations are agreed with you.

A Full-Time BioChef is a placement: a full time personal chef contracted directly with you. Biospan searches, vets, trials and nutritionally onboards your chef. Once placed, you run the day-to-day role. The right employment or engagement structure is confirmed for your region before you proceed.

A Part-Time BioChef visits one to three times a week as a Biospan-managed service and usually prepares food across several days. A Full-Time BioChef is for households that want fresh service most days and one chef taking broader ownership of the kitchen. If you are unsure, we recommend the better fit from your requirements.

Yes. Your requirements can include children, guests, allergies, preferences, different portion needs and separate diets. Your BioChef plans one kitchen around all of them, so personalisation does not become duplication.

Yes, when travel and multiple residences are defined in the role from the start. We weigh availability, working pattern, sourcing and accommodation when matching candidates.

Yes. Bring a plan from your nutritionist, doctor or coach and your BioChef cooks to it as written, working to the calories, macros and dietary protocols it sets. Your chef's first month includes nutrition onboarding around your household's requirements.

You can run unlimited chef trials until the appointment is right. Each trial lets you assess the food, the organisation, the communication and the household fit, and is paid at the candidate's agreed day rate.

Yes. Candidates are vetted for professional experience, reliability and fit, with background and reference checks. Discretion requirements and NDAs can be included before candidates enter your household.

A Full-Time BioChef comes with an annual replacement guarantee, so if something goes wrong in the first year we find you another chef. We do that in good faith and within reason: we present the chefs who are genuinely available in your region and work with you until the replacement is one you are happy with. It is a real commitment rather than an unlimited one.

No. Groceries are billed separately at cost, on your own card. Your BioChef shops organic, and we make nothing on your groceries.

Trials can usually be arranged quickly, and matching takes 5 to 10 working days on average. Your start date then depends on the chef you choose, because the right candidate may have other engagements or a notice period to work. Sometimes a chef is free sooner, so tell us if you need to move fast, and we give you a realistic timeline before you commit.
