GUEST
EXPERIENCE LEAD


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
friendly face that makes guests feel instantly welcome—answering questions,
keeping things running smoothly, and helping folks with digital orders so
nothing slows them down. You’ll also spot and solve problems on the fly,
support the team, and help raise the bar for great service every day.









WHAT WILL YOU SPEND YOUR TIME DOING? 

Welcome
first, always.
Greet every guest with good energy and a real smile — make
them feel like they matter the second they walk in.
Know the
menu inside out.
Answer questions, shout out promos, and help guests pick
what’s right for them.
Make tech
feel easy.
Help guests use kiosks or the app without making it
awkward. Show them how to customise and order like a pro.
Keep it
moving.

Watch the crowd, reduce wait times, and never let anyone feel lost or left
hanging. Let them know what’s happening with their order.
Handle
complaints like a pro.
Listen up, stay calm, fix what you can — and loop in your
Team Leader or GM if it needs backup.

















WHAT WE'D LOVE FROM YOU

Talk the
talk.

Great communication — friendly, clear, and confident with everyone.
Think fast. You don’t
freeze when stuff goes wrong — you fix it.
Tech savvy. You know
your way around digital ordering and can show guests how it works without
stress.







KEEPING IT REAL

We don’t hire staff
— we hire people. People with real lives and aspirations, building real
careers. Each of us has something special to add to the mix we call work, and
we’ll always encourage you to add your perspective.

See, at KFC,
everyone’s welcome — whatever your background, and whatever future you’re
creating. We’ll look out for you because you’re one of us, not because you work
for us. We’ll invest in your potential, because it’s what we’ve always done.
But most of all, we’ll give you the freedom to be you, wherever (and whoever)
you happen to be.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU:

We offer benefits that make your life that little bit easier, because we
know the juggle is real.

  • Pay
    rate: Up to £12.21
  • Take the first step toward a rewarding leadership
    career.
  • Free food and drink on shift
  • 25% staff discount



















KFC FOR EVERYONE

Whoever you are and wherever you’re from, KFC is a place where you can
bring the real you to work. We’re here to support you in being yourself, whether you
work with us, or are trying to.

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. We don’t just welcome, we encourage applications from
underrepresented groups in all industries.

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.

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.

Where to Advertise Space Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise space jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, agency channels and community routes that reach satellite, propulsion and launch talent. The candidate pool spans satellite engineers, propulsion specialists, mission analysts, ground segment software developers, space systems architects and commercial space professionals — a highly specific multidisciplinary community that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest space candidates are often embedded in ESA programmes, academic research groups, UK Space Agency-funded projects or established primes, and move between roles through sector-specific networks, industry bodies and conference communities rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by UKSpaceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise space industry roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Space Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Space Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the UK space sector hiring trends shaping satellites, launch, Earth observation and space data careers. The UK space sector is in the middle of something that feels genuinely historic. A combination of government commitment, private capital, and technological progress has transformed Britain's position in the global space economy from a capable but secondary player into a nation with serious sovereign ambitions — and a jobs market that is expanding to match them. This is not the space industry of previous generations, defined by a small number of government agencies, a handful of prime contractors, and career pathways accessible only to a narrow band of elite engineers and scientists. The new space economy is broader, faster-moving, and more commercially driven than anything the sector has previously seen. Satellite manufacturing has been democratised by small sat technology. Launch is becoming domestic. Space data is flowing into applications across agriculture, insurance, climate monitoring, maritime, and defence at a scale that is creating entirely new categories of commercial hiring. And the defence and national security dimensions of space have elevated the sector's strategic importance to a degree that is driving sustained public investment in the talent pipeline. For job seekers, the UK space jobs market of 2026 represents an opportunity that is both more accessible and more technically demanding than at any previous point. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which programmes are moving from development into operation, which technologies are defining the architecture of modern space systems, and how the definition of a space career is expanding well beyond the spacecraft engineering core toward a much wider ecosystem of roles across the full space value chain. This article breaks down what the UK space jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most exciting sectors in the UK economy.

Satellites, space exploration, Earth observation, space data analytics, launch systems and space infrastructure are all areas seeing rapid expansion, bringing demand for engineers, scientists, operations specialists and software developers. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.UKSpaceJobs.co.uk , identifying employers that are scaling, securing major contracts, attracting investment, or establishing UK operations is vital. This article highlights the most exciting space employers to watch in 2026, including UK space start‑ups, established aerospace organisations with UK teams, and global firms investing in British space talent.
