Team Member in Harlow

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 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.

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.

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.

Pay rate

• 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. 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.
