Private Chef

About the Position & Its Impact

The Private Chef at Milestones is responsible for planning, preparing, and serving nourishing, beautifully crafted meals for clients in our residential healing program. This is a deeply relational, client-facing role that sits at the intersection of culinary excellence and therapeutic hospitality.

At Milestones, food is never just fuel. For someone in the middle of one of the hardest seasons of their life, sitting down to a warm, intentional, thoughtfully prepared meal is an act of care that echoes the healing work happening in every other corner of our program. Our clients arrive carrying trauma, grief, and vulnerability, alongside a wide range of dietary needs, restrictions, and histories with food that deserve to be honored with both knowledge and compassion. The Private Chef is a genuine part of each client's support system here. This means showing up with warmth, presence, and consistency, while maintaining the clear professional boundaries that make a therapeutic environment safe. The right person for this role understands the mental health space, respects the relational nature of their position, and brings a rare combination of culinary excellence and emotional intelligence to the table every single day.

About the Day-to-Day

In this role, you will plan and execute daily menus for lunch, dinner, and snacks, focusing on whole, minimally processed, fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients that support physical and emotional wellbeing. You will build genuine, consistent relationships with clients throughout their residential stay, engaging with warmth and attentiveness while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. As a familiar and trusted face in the day-to-day life of the program, your presence matters deeply to the client experience.

You will proactively assess, accommodate, and meticulously track the full spectrum of dietary needs across the client population—including medically prescribed diets, allergies, intolerances, eating disorder sensitivities, and religious or cultural practices—ensuring no one at the table is an afterthought. You will collaborate closely with clinical, nursing, and program staff to align meal planning with therapeutic goals, medical guidance, and the daily rhythm of the program. Your work involves preparing creatively delicious, nutritionally balanced meals using advanced culinary techniques, with a keen awareness of how food choices support mental health, emotional regulation, and recovery. Additionally, you will manage kitchen inventory, ordering, and procurement, sourcing quality ingredients responsibly while operating within budget and maintaining the standard of excellence our clients experience.
