Spread your wings | KFC cooks up 7,000 new jobs in major UK&I expansion

KFC is set to create 7,000 new jobs across the UK and Ireland as part of a major expansion plan, in what it describes as a response to “unprecedented” demand for its food. The roles will span restaurant teams, management positions, kitchen staff, and a new “guest experience” role.

The recruitment drive is tied to the fast-food giant’s plans to open 500 new restaurants over the next decade and upgrade more than 200 existing sites. The new jobs will be created not only within KFC’s 1,000+ existing outlets, which already employ around 30,000 people, but also across its broader supply chain.
