Job Description
ABOUT THE ROLE
LOCATION: KILLINGWORTH
DEPARTMENT: TEAM MEMBER
SALARY/RATE: DISCUSSED AT VENUE
HOURS: FULL TIME
CLOSING DATE: 26 FEBRUARY 2026
CAN YOU FOLLOW IN THE COLONEL’S FOOTSTEPS?
So, think you’ve got what it takes to join us? If you answer ‘YES’ to this question then you might just be right…
Are you a team player? The ‘not-so’ secret to success is teamwork. Working in a KFC restaurant is all about working together to give our guests the best service. You’ll need to be up for meeting new people and be ready to get involved, help your team, our guests and keep cool when it gets busy.
We’re not looking for years of experience or a degree in Guest Service, we’re just looking for real people up for getting stuck in, making a difference for our guests and being part of our awesome team. Don’t worry about the rest, we’ll teach you all you need to know.
And if you needed any more persuasion, we also offer free meals, 25% discount, flexible shifts and educational development opportunities up to degree level to all of our Team Members as standard.
WHO WE ARE
Take one man with a big idea (and some serious style), add 11 herbs and spices, 1,009 rejections, buckets of grit, ambition and southern hospitality and you’ve got KFC. It’s simple, we’re a people business that sells chicken and chips (and some other pretty epic stuff too).
OUR RESTAURANT CULTURE
We do things the right way. It isn’t always easy, but it’s always better. We lead with our hearts, work hard and play hard and we welcome everyone into our big KFC family. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from, or what your shoe size is – everyone has a place at the Colonel’s table. All we ask is that you roll up your sleeves, get stuck in and treat our team like family and our guests as friends. It’s what the Colonel would do.
THAT GOT YOU CLUCKIN’ EXCITED? - THERE MIGHT JUST BE A SEAT FOR YOU AT THE COLONEL’S TABLE…
WELCOME TO KFC.
HOME OF THE REAL ONES.
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 CAN MAKE YOUR FUTURE HAPPEN
We don't just look after customers. We look after our people, too. Whatever future you're building, we're here to make it happen.
When life gets real, we know that support, care, and flexible shifts at work are what keep us all moving. And that’s exactly what you’ll find in our restaurants. Studying on the side? We'll make it work. Got kids? They're part of the family, right. Training to be the next Marcus Rashford? Yep, we believe in big dreams, too. Or are you looking for a career path that could lead you to a role in our Restaurant Support Centre? Don’t worry - we’ve got you.
