ABOUT THE ROLE

LOCATION: STOCKTON-ON-TEES

DEPARTMENT: TEAM MEMBER

SALARY/RATE: UP TO £12.71 PER HOUR

HOURS: FULL TIME

CLOSING DATE: 10 JUNE 2026

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.

Sounds good? Great. Here’s more about the job.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You’ll be the engine of the kitchen—prepping, cooking, and serving up our legendary chicken with pride and precision. It’s fast, it’s hands-on, and it’s all about bringing the flavour while backing your team every step of the way.

WHAT WILL YOU SPEND YOUR TIME DOING?

Own the kitchen. You’ll be the heart of the hustle—prepping, cooking, and serving up our famous chicken to perfection.

Stick to the standards. You’ll follow our prep and cooking processes to the letter, keeping it safe, clean, and tasty.

Keep it fresh. Quality matters. You’ll make sure every piece is hot, crisp, and finger lickin’ good.

WHAT WE'D LOVE FROM YOU

Love for good food. You care about cooking it right and serving it hot—every time.

Can-do attitude. You show up, step up, and keep the momentum going.

Pace and precision. Fast hands, sharp focus, and you don’t cut corners.

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.
