Job description

About the role

You'll be right there on the floor, leading the team, keeping things running smooth, and making sure every guest leaves happy. It's about setting the pace, lifting the vibe, and getting stuck in to make every shift count.

• Lead from the front. You'll get stuck in with the team, setting the pace and driving the restaurant to hit targets and smash expectations.
• Build your crew up. You'll coach, support, and celebrate your team—making sure everyone grows, learns, and brings their best to every shift.
• Keep it running smooth. From stock checks to shift plans, you'll help keep things ticking behind the scenes so the front runs like clockwork.
• A natural leader. You’ve got experience managing teams—and you know how to bring out the best in people when it counts.
• People person, through and through. You create a buzz, lift others up, and know how to keep the crew happy and focused.
• Cool under pressure. Things can move fast—you stay calm, think sharp, and make smart calls when it matters.

Keeping it real. We don’t hire staff—we hire people. People with real lives and aspirations, building real careers.

See, at KFC, everyone’s welcome—whatever your background, and whatever future you’re creating. We’ll look out for you because you’re one of us, not because you work for us. We’ll invest in your potential, because it’s what we’ve always done. But most of all, we’ll give you the freedom to be you, wherever (and whoever) you happen to be.

What’s in it for you

• Pay rate: Take the first step toward a rewarding leadership career.

Our promise is this: every person who applies to a role at KFC, regardless of age, background, ethnicity, gender, ability, religion or sexual orientation, will have an equal opportunity to work here. We don’t just welcome, we encourage applications from underrepresented groups in all industries.

If you’d like any additional support with your application, have a disability or condition that may affect your performance during the recruitment process, or have any other requirements—just let us know. We’ll be there to help you be the real you.

Ready? We hope so. If you’re ready to be part of our community, now’s the time to apply. Worried you aren’t ticking all the boxes? Don’t — we’d still love to hear from you.
