Welcome to KFC. Home of the real ones.
We sell the world’s best chicken. Seriously. And we’ve done it since 1939, when the idea of crispy, original recipe chicken took Kentucky by storm. Now, we’re proud to serve 1000+ communities across the UK and Ireland, bringing the grit, pride and iconic reputation that we started with, all those years ago.
Across the Restaurant Support Centre (RSC), we come to work to be ourselves, and to make something of ourselves. We want to see our potential go that little bit further, as part of one of the world’s most iconic brands.
What’s the gig? Well, you support our restaurants — and we’ll support you every step of the way. Simple. Our doors are open — and they can take you anywhere.
All we ask is that you be you. Because that makes us, us. Sound good? Great. Let’s find out about that job.
THE TEAM
Our People and Culture team creates a place where people don’t just work - they thrive, and feel genuinely proud to be part of something real. We’re here for all 36,000 members of Team KFC – shaping a bold, inclusive culture, and making sure everyone feels supported, included, and empowered to grow.
From finding and nurturing top talent to unlocking growth opportunities, we’re ambitious about what our people can achieve. We ask questions, push boundaries, and challenge the usual way of doing things - if it means building a better experience, we’re all in.
We lead with smart, heart, and courage - because when we put people first and back their potential, incredible things happen.
