Cook

Welcome to KFC. Home of the real ones. We sell the world's best chicken. We’ve done it for a long 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 go further. Our doors are open and they can take you anywhere. If you join our team we only ask one thing: you be you. Because that makes us us.

Here’s more about the job.

What you’ll spend your time doing:

• Own the kitchen: You’ll be the heart of the hustle prepping, cooking and serving up our famous chicken to perfection.

• Pace and precision: Fast hands, sharp focus and you don’t cut corners.

Each of us has something special to add to the mix we call work and we 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 invest in your potential because it’s what we’ve always done. But most of all we give you the freedom to be you wherever (and whoever) you happen to be.
