Overview

Cook. Welcome to KFC. Home of the real ones.

We sell the world’s best chicken. Since 1939, we’ve served 1000+ communities across the UK and Ireland with our original recipe chicken and distinctive brand.

If you join our team, we ask that you be you. That makes us, us.

Sounds good? Here’s more about the job.

About the role

You’ll be the engine of the kitchen—prepping, cooking, and serving up our legendary chicken with pride and precision. It’s fast, hands-on, and about bringing the flavour while backing your team every step of the way.

Responsibilities

  • Own the kitchen. Be the heart of the hustle—prepping, cooking, and serving up our famous chicken to perfection.
  • Stick to the standards. Follow our prep and cooking processes to the letter, keeping it safe, clean, and tasty.
  • Keep it fresh. Ensure every piece is hot, crisp, and finger lickin’ good.

What we’d love from you

  • Love for good food. You care about cooking it right and serving it hot—every time.
  • Can-do attitude. You show up, step up, and keep the momentum going.
  • Pace and precision. Fast hands, sharp focus, and you don’t cut corners.

Keeping it real

We don’t hire staff — we hire people with real lives and aspirations, building real careers. We’ll encourage you to add your perspective and invest in your potential. We’ll give you the freedom to be you, wherever you happen to be.

What’s in it for you

We offer benefits that make your life easier, acknowledging the juggle is real.

  • Take the first step toward a rewarding leadership career.
  • Free food and drink on shift.
  • 25% staff discount.

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.

Equal opportunity

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 to apply

We hope so. If you’re ready to be part of our community, now’s the time to apply.
