About the role
Support the team, take charge of the day-to-day, and help hit those performance goals while ensuring your team doesn’t just meet expectations, but crushes them. Own the operations, the atmosphere, and the guest experience, helping everything run smoothly and creating a place where both guests and the team feel right at home.
What will you spend your time doing?
- Support like a leader. Assist in taking ownership of the restaurant — help drive performance, hit goals, and keep the vibe alive.
- Help build a dream team. Train, coach, and motivate your crew to not only meet standards but go beyond them.
- Hit those targets. Own your KPIs, support the team, and make sure every shift delivers what’s expected.
- Keep everything running smooth. Stay on top of the admin — from rosters to stock, you help ensure the behind-the-scenes work is solid.
- Make every guest feel special. Assist in turning first-timers into regulars with moments that keep them coming back.
What we’re looking for
- You lead by example. You’ve helped manage teams before and know how to bring out the best in others.
- You understand people. You support building strong teams, handle tough convos, and make sure everyone feels valued.
- You keep things running. You help ensure smooth operations — efficient, clean, compliant — even when things get hectic.
Benefits
- Pay rate: Quarterly BONUS that rewards the hustle
- Extra holiday – more time to recharge
- Life assurance – we’ve got you covered
- Free chicken & chips every shift
- 25% staff discount
- Gym discounts to keep you moving
- 200+ high street perks & cashback
- Boosted pension scheme
- Wellbeing support that actually helps
* We do things a little differently here. Some of our restaurants are run by KFC directly (that’s our Equity team), while others are owned by our awesome Franchise partners. So, things like benefits might vary a bit depending on where you work – but the heart, the culture, and that finger lickin’ feeling? That’s the same wherever you join us.
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. 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.
