CAREERS
Cook with Noêma.
Join a small network of experienced chefs creating thoughtful food experiences in private homes and professional spaces across Oslo and Stavanger.
Noêma works with chefs on a flexible, assignment-based basis across Private Dining, Weekly Meal Prep and selected Catering events.
A Different Kind of Kitchen
Noêma was created around the idea that great cooking does not need to happen inside a traditional restaurant.
Our chefs work directly with clients in their homes and private spaces — preparing food with care, working independently and creating an experience that feels personal without unnecessary formality.
The setting changes from one assignment to the next, but the expectations remain the same: good ingredients, strong organisation, thoughtful cooking and respect for the people whose home or space we are working in.
Ways to Work With Us
Private Dining
Cook curated Noêma menus for intimate dinners and gatherings in private homes.
Assignments can involve preparation, cooking, plating, service and leaving the kitchen clean and organised at the end of the evening.
Weekly Meal Prep
Prepare several meals during a scheduled visit to a client's home.
Menus and client preferences are organised in advance, allowing you to focus on efficient preparation, good cooking and leaving everything ready for the week ahead.
Catering & Events
Selected opportunities are available for larger corporate gatherings and events where additional chefs or kitchen support are required.
What We Look For
We are interested in chefs who are confident working independently and understand that cooking in someone's home requires a different approach from working in a restaurant kitchen.
You should be:
Professionally trained or have relevant professional kitchen experience
Comfortable organising and executing a service independently
Reliable, punctual and well organised
Calm and professional around clients and guests
Confident communicating in English or Norwegian
Comfortable adapting to different kitchens and working environments
Based in, or able to work regularly in, Oslo or Stavanger
Experience with Mediterranean or Greek cuisine is welcome, but not essential.
More important is good technique, judgement and genuine care for the food you prepare.
How the Collaboration Works
Noêma works with chefs according to bookings and client requirements.
This is flexible, assignment-based work rather than a position with guaranteed weekly hours. You can let us know your availability and the types of assignments you are interested in, and we will contact you when suitable work becomes available.
Before your first independent assignment, we make sure you understand the menu, client expectations and the way Noêma approaches service.
Menus, booking details and the information needed for each assignment are provided in advance.
