About The Role

Department: Team Member
Salary/Rate: Up to £12.71 per hour
Hours: part time
Closing Date: 27 June 2026
Welcome to KFC.
Home of the real ones.

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 the heartbeat of the restaurant – serving up great food, good vibes, and real moments. No matter where you’re working front, middle, or back – you bring the energy, and we’ll bring the rest.

What will you spend your time doing?
Serve up good vibes – greet every guest like they’re family.
Own the front – take orders, handle the tills, and keep things clean and slick.
Stay cool under pressure – rush hour? No problem.
Prep like a pro – slice, dice, and get the goods ready fast.
Keep it spotless – hygiene’s not optional, it’s the standard.

What we'd love from you
Keep calm and crack on – pressure’s part of the game.
Care about quality – of the food, the service, and the team.
Spread good vibes – your attitude makes the shift.
