Take one man with a big idea, add 11 herbs and spices, 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 join us; to bring it. Your energy, grit, spirit and story. Here, everyone gets a seat at our table. We feed our people’s potential – to be their best selves, make a difference and have fun. Together, we can be part of something truly extraordinary.
It’s fast, it’s fun, and it’s never dull.
It’s not an easy job, it takes hard work and grit, but you’ll be part of a team that always has your back. We share ideas, celebrate the wins, and learn from our mistakes.
We offer flexibility so that you can fit work around the things that matter most. And we’ll help you grow a big career. No matter where you’re starting from or what your ambition is, just bring your potential and we’ll support you with the rest.
Oh, and did we mention the free meals and 25% discount? Maybe we should have led with that...
At KFC, we’re all about flavour. That perfect blend of herbs and spices that makes everything so finger lickin’ good. But our blend over 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.
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.
We do things our own way here. And that includes the way we reward you for bringing the graft. And the laughs, too.
Some of our restaurants are part of our Equity business and others are owned by our Franchise partners. That means the perks we offer might look a little different from one location to another.
