1 week ago

Duns, United Kingdom Thomas Ren Associates Full time

The Cook/House Keeper is employed to ensure that the Lodge is maintained to the highest standard possible. The Lodge should be always kept in a state of preparation for occupancy, allowing for family/guests to arrive at short notice. It is, therefore, essentialthat the standard of service, cleaning and general maintenance of the Lodge is impeccable.

When the Owner and guests are in residence their role will be largely kitchen based undertaking food preparation, meal/menu planning and management of food stocks, fridges and freezers in the Lodge in addition to organising shoot lunches (during lowgroundshoots) and elevenses during the season. If a Chef is brought in for the shoot season, then you will act as their sous chef/support.

This role requires a high level of healthy cooking, to dinner party standard, but does not need to be of a 'full chef’ level. Fresh produce is grown on the Estate, so someone that is used to making jams/marmalades/etc, and that is used to using all ingredientsand ensuring mínimal waste. This is a shooting estate, so experience in this area is of benefit, but not essential.

When the Principals are not in residence then general day to day duties of maintaining the Lodge in good, clean working order, thereby ensuring correct standards and practices are maintained. They should develop a well-ordered routine for daily tasks duringfamily visits, and an in-depth programme to include specific tasks when the house is unoccupied. This is working alongside another House Keeper and other household staff, whilst maintaining a sunny and upbeat disposition.

Must be able to drive. Please note this role is in the Borders of Scotland and the nearest village is 10 min drive away.
