Team Leader

At KFC, everyone gets a seat at our table. We feed our people’s potential – to be their best selves, make a difference and have fun. Join us, and together, we can be part of something truly extraordinary.

Our Team Leaders are our most important shift runners. They bring their passion and energy and come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from supermarkets and pubs to high street retailers and banks. However, they all share a common characteristic: being empowering leaders who prioritize the well-being of their team members and run a shift as good as our chicken.

As a Team Leader in your restaurant, you will work alongside the Restaurant General Manager (RGM) and play a crucial role in delivering our core operations to the highest standards. Your responsibilities will include coaching and guiding your team to ensure a dependable and consistent experience for our customers.

• Assisting with day-to-day operations, including food preparation, inventory management, and ensuring a clean and welcoming environment for customers.
• Learning essential managerial skills, such as scheduling, team coordination, and effective communication, to lead a motivated and efficient team.
• Providing exceptional customer service and ensuring customer satisfaction through prompt problem-solving and a friendly demeanor.
• Collaborating with colleagues and other managers to maintain high-quality standards and uphold our brand's reputation.
• Embracing a continuous learning mindset, taking feedback constructively, and applying it to improve skills and performance.

It’s not just what you do at KFC. It’s the way you do it. Unapologetically you, undeniably original. You’ll work with colleagues who bring originality to the table, energy, spirit and sizzle to the restaurant floor and make every shift high-flying and high-fryin’. We take your ambition seriously; you’ll be treated with respect and supported in everything you do as you roll up your sleeves and bring finger-lickin’ good chicken to our customers. And whatever your journey looks like, we’ll help you get there. From flexible schedules to cross-training and the chance to earn qualifications, we’ve got you.

There are all kinds of opportunities at 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 invite you to join us to bring it—the energy, grit, spirit, and story.

If you are ready to bring your passion, skills, and dedication to KFC, we encourage you to apply now. We look forward to welcoming you to our team and embarking on this extraordinary journey together.

At KFC, we’re all about flavour. That perfect blend of herbs and spices that makes everything so finger lickin’ good. 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.
