Job description

Overview

Supporting your overall wellbeing with counselling, mental health support, life management, medical guidance, and helpful resources. Olivia is our friendly virtual assistant, which means she's available to support you navigate through the application process 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether it's late at night or over the weekend, she's on hand to answer your questions, guide you through the application process, or help you find what you need.

While Olivia can't make hiring decisions (those are always made by real human recruiters), Olivia's here to ensure your recruitment journey stays smooth and accessible anytime you need. Olivia is our friendly virtual assistant designed to help streamline parts of the recruitment experience. Olivia can answer common questions, guide candidates through application steps, arrange interviews and provide timely updates, all to help make the application process smoother and easier to navigate.

Workplace Eligibility

Before we can employ you, we are required to verify your eligibility to work in the UK & Ireland. Acceptable documents to evidence your right to work can be found here. You'll need to provide original documents such as a valid passport or a valid UK/Ireland visa (with a college letter listing term dates, where applicable). Only original documents will be accepted.

Interview Process

What type of questions do you ask at an interview? The interview is an absolutely vital part of our hiring process. Without it, we wouldn't get a proper picture of what kind of person you are, and whether you'd be a great fit at McDonald's. The interview will normally involve a set of questions around values and attitudes and will allow the interviewee to really show us why they're the right person for the job. For instance, we might ask for an example of times you've worked as part of a team and how you made a difference to that team. In short, we look for people who have the right attitudes and behaviours to deliver a great customer and colleague experience; we hire for qualities and potential, rather than qualifications.

If you are unable to make any of the interview slots offered to you in the recruitment process, you can get back in touch with Olivia and she will help you rearrange to find a date suitable for you.

Career Prospects

What prospects do I have working at McDonald's? Our employees tend to stick around. Partly because it's a fun, sociable and flexible place to work, but also because there are opportunities to progress into roles with more responsibility. In fact, 9 out of 10 of our restaurant managers, and 1 in 5 of our franchisees, started out as crew members behind the counter or in the kitchens. That's an unbelievable stat that we're very proud of. We've also been recognised as a leading employer over the years, offering award‑winning learning, nationally recognised qualifications, comprehensive benefits and flexible working arrangements, as well as a well‑proven career path.

Personal Traits and Behaviour

You need to have a can‑do attitude. You must be confident in yourself and be a team player. Friendly, welcoming, courteous and helpful behaviour will come naturally to you and you'll work well as part of a team. Effective communication skills such as attentive listening, face‑to‑face verbal communication and eye contact are a must. The ability to maintain high energy levels whilst working both efficiently and productively is essential. You will be working in our fast‑moving, high‑energy environment and we're looking for a genuine smile, enthusiasm, energy, and an ability to connect with customers and make them feel valued.

Job Responsibilities

As a Crew Member, you'll make it happen, whether you're preparing food, serving on the till or being out in the dining areas looking after our customers' needs. You will consistently deliver the highest standards of quality, service and cleanliness in the restaurant. Provide friendly, fast and accurate service. Complete tasks and activities in line with training, company guidelines and management direction. Follow all workplace safety, security and food hygiene procedures. Treat all customers and colleagues with courtesy and respect while working as a supportive team member.

Benefits and Pay

• Holiday pay
• Service Awards
• Meal allowance
• Employee discounts from top high street and online brands
• Premium shift pay for working between midnight and 5 am (overnights)
• Above national minimum wage for hourly‑paid workers
• Holiday and sick pay
• Discounts at over 1,600 retailers

How often do I get paid? This can vary depending on whether you work in a franchised or company‑owned restaurant. Typically, it can be every 2 or 4 weeks for hourly‑paid employees, and monthly for employees on a dedicated salary.

Working Hours and Shifts

What type of shifts will I be doing and how many? Our restaurant hours range from location to location, but over half of our restaurants are open 24 hours a day. We schedule most shifts to suit you, but also take working time legislation and our business needs into account.

Dress Code

What should I wear to work? Just one of the benefits of working at McDonald's is that you don't have to worry about what to wear to work – we will supply you with a uniform.

Promotion Opportunities

Does McDonald's promote its employees? Definitely. We highly value talent and always aim to encourage employees to remain within our business. Half of our Executive Team started in restaurants. At McDonald's, there are no limits to how far or fast you can progress.
