Info For Parents
Your son or daughter has decided they want to join the KFC team to earn extra money, meet new people and take advantage of the great training and benefits KFC has to offer.
As a parent, you'll want to know what this will mean for your son or daughter and how it will fit in with their school and sport or social commitments.
Will getting a job affect their studies?
At KFC we maintain that school always comes first. We're flexible around working hours to accommodate time off for exams, extra curricular school activities, sports and family events.
Hours for our school age employees are managed so that they don't clash with their school timetable.
Will they be looked after at KFC?
The culture at KFC is inclusive and supportive, and one where everyone is encouraged to look out for each other. Our Open Door policy means our Restaurant Managers are always available to Team Members and parents. In fact, we encourage parents to meet and have a chat with the Restaurant Manager.
We support fair pay, safe working conditions and Equal Employment Opportunities at KFC. We also provide training to ensure your child is safe at work at all times. It is important to us that you understand our total commitment to your son or daughter's safety and wellbeing at work.
What about training and future career prospects?
Many young employees initially join us with the view that this is "just a job to make some extra cash". However, the longer they stay the more they realise there are some great career opportunities on offer.
As a Team Member, employees will get the chance to cross-train within the restaurant so that they continually learn new skills. These skills will not only benefit them at work, but will also give them skills for life.
Our Retail Traineeship Program leads to a Nationally Recognised Qualification and is structured so that employees can work, learn and earn at the same time.
From here, the prospects are endless. Most of our Restaurant Managers started out as Team Members. This is just the start of a great opportunity.
