Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

At KFC, everyone gets a seat at our table. We feed our people’s potential – to be their best selves, make a difference, and have fun. Join us, and together, we can be part of something truly extraordinary.

Bringing it to the role:

Our cooks hand-bread and prepare our chicken just like the Colonel did it - to our world-famous, finger lickin’ good standard.

But you don’t need years of experience. We’re just looking for real people who are up for getting stuck in, delivering a great experience for our customers, and being part of our awesome team. Don’t worry about the rest, we’ll teach you everything you need to know.

As a Cook, you will:

• Run the engine that is back of house by managing food prep and cleaning, with top communication, speed, and accuracy.
• Produce that finger lickin’ chicken by preparing food, cleaning, communicating with your team, and maintaining food safety.
• Maintain our high standards that make our guests come back again and again by hand breading our chicken with love and care.

Be Original.

It’s not just what you do at KFC. It’s the way you do it. Unapologetically you, undeniably original. You’ll work with colleagues who all bring their originality to the table, who bring energy, spirit, and sizzle to the restaurant floor and make every shift high flyin’ and high fryin’.

We take your ambition seriously; you’ll be treated with respect and supported in everything you do as you roll up your sleeves and bring finger lickin’ good chicken to our customers. And whatever your journey looks like, we’ll help you get there. From flexible schedules to cross-training and the chance to earn qualifications, we got you.

There are all kinds of opportunities at KFC.

Who we are.

Take one man with a big idea, add 11 herbs and spices, grit, ambition, and buckets of heart – you’ve got KFC. Since 1952, we’ve been bringing finger lickin’ good chicken to the world. But without our people, The Originals, none of it would be possible. Everyone at KFC is different. Unique. It’s what makes us special. We’ll always be original. And we welcome you to join us; to bring it. Your energy, grit, spirit, and story.

Ready to apply?

If you are ready to bring your passion, skills, and dedication to KFC, we encourage you to apply now. We look forward to welcoming you to our team and embarking on this extraordinary journey together. Bring it.

UNITED BY THE BUCKET

At KFC, we’re all about flavour. That perfect blend of herbs and spices that makes everything so finger lickin’ good. But our blend of a bland approach doesn’t just apply to our chicken. We value, support, and celebrate all the things that make our KFCers authentic and original. Because whatever your flavour – your ability, age, background, ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexual orientation - we’re all united by the bucket.

If you need reasonable adjustment as part of your application or interview process, don’t hesitate to let us know.
