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 where everyone feels supported, included, and empowered to grow.
We lead with smart, heart, and courage and are people first, always. From finding and nurturing top talent to unlocking growth opportunities, we’re ambitious about our people’s potential. We ask questions, push boundaries, and challenge the usual way of doing things - if it means building a better experience for our teams, we’re all in.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for a Head of People & Culture Business Partner to join Team KFC and play a key role in shaping the people agenda across our Restaurant Support Centre.
This is a senior strategic partnering role, working directly with C-suite and functional leaders to translate our business strategy into the organisation, talent and culture we need for the future. You’ll be a trusted advisor and thought partner, bringing commercial judgement, constructive challenge and a strong people perspective to some of our biggest business decisions.
You’ll lead across organisation design, workforce planning, talent and succession, leadership capability, performance and culture, while partnering with our Centres of Excellence to turn strategy into meaningful action.
We’re looking for someone who can think strategically but isn’t afraid to get stuck in. Someone who can navigate complexity, influence at the highest levels and create clarity and momentum in a fast-moving business.
This is a hybrid role, based from our Woking RSC two days a week.
WHAT YOU’LL SPEND YOUR TIME DOING
WHAT WE’D LOVE FROM YOU
You’ll be an established senior People leader who combines commercial thinking with strong generalist HR expertise.
Ideally, you’ll bring:
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU:
We offer benefits that make your life that little bit easier, because we know the juggle is real.
From flexible, hybrid working to Fri-Yay early finishes and Live Well Days, we’ve created a package that supports the real you, in and out of work.
You’ll get:
Because real ones deserve real rewards.
KFC FOR EVERYONE:
Whoever you are and wherever you’re from, KFC is a place where you can bring the real you to work.
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 from 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.
