We
sell the world’s best chicken. We’ve done it for a long old time — since 1939,
when the idea of

finger lickin’ good chicken popped into our Colonel’s head. Now, we proudly
serve 1000+ communities across the UK and Ireland, bringing the grit, pride and
iconic reputation that started in Kentucky all those years ago.

People who are
original. Individual. Fresh. We come to work to be ourselves, and to make
something of ourselves. We bring the graft and the laughs every day — building
our own community, as we serve our original recipe chicken to the ones we’re
in.

In our place, ambition grows. Careers build.
Potential goes further. Our doors are open, and they can take you anywhere.

If you join our team, we only ask one thing.
That you be you.

Because that makes us, us.

Sounds good? Great. Here’s more about the job.

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.

What
will you spend your time doing?

• 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.

What we'd love from you:

• 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. Each of us has
something special to add to the mix we call work, and we’ll always encourage
you to add your perspective.

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:

We offer
benefits that make your life that little bit easier, because we know the juggle
is real.

• Take the first step toward a rewarding leadership career.
• Free
  food and drink on shift

KFC for
everyone:

Whoever you are
and wherever you’re from, KFC is a place where you can bring the real

you to work. We’re here to support you in being yourself, whether you work with
us, or are

trying to.

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.
