Assistant restaurant general manager
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

Support the team, take charge of the day-to-day, and help hit those performance goals while ensuring your team doesn’t just meet expectations, but crushes them. Own the operations, the atmosphere, and the guest experience, helping everything run smoothly and creating a place where both guests and the team feel right at home.

What will you spend your time doing?

What we'd love from you:

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: £32,000 - £35,000
• Quarterly BONUS that rewards the hustle
• Extra holiday – more time to recharge
• Life assurance – we’ve got you covered
• Free chicken & chips every shift
• 25% staff discount
• Gym discounts to keep you moving
• 200+ high street perks & cashback
• Wellbeing support that actually helps

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.

Our Business Engagement and Employability Team focuses on how the University interacts with industry in three key areas: support for our students and graduates to develop and successfully reach their aspirations, linking business to academics and research students to assist with research, knowledge exchange and consultancy, and the provision of skills that are relevant to industry, whether through courses, apprenticeships, CPD or further training. 

We are seeking a Commercial Assistant Manager to join our Business Engagement and Employability department on a 12-month fixed-term basis. This is a key role supporting the University’s Knowledge Exchange ambitions, with responsibility for two strategic portfolios: Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) and Research Commercialisation (spin-outs and IP licensing). 

The main purpose of the role is to facilitate the successful delivery, growth and governance of these portfolios by developing contractual agreements, supporting collaboration between academic and external partners, and ensuring high-quality project management and stakeholder engagement across a complex and fast-paced environment.

You will act as a central point of contact for KTP projects, working closely with company partners, academic staff, KTP Associates, Innovate UK and other stakeholders to deliver an efficient, professional and customer-focused support service. Alongside this, you will play a pivotal role in progressing the University’s intellectual property pipeline, supporting opportunities through to spin-out formation or licensing agreements, and contributing to REF and KEF outcomes.

Anticipated interview date: Wednesday 12th August 2026

We are looking for a highly organised and proactive professional who can confidently manage a varied portfolio of activity and build strong relationships across academic, commercial and external stakeholder groups.

You will be educated to degree level (or have equivalent professional experience) and bring a solid understanding of the collaborative research and development funding landscape, including the role of organisations such as Innovate UK. Experience of working within or alongside university or funding body submission processes, and coordinating collaborative projects, will be essential to success in this role.

You will have excellent organisational and time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects at different stages while working to strict deadlines. Attention to detail will be critical, particularly when supporting contractual agreements, monitoring project performance and ensuring compliance requirements are met.

Strong communication and interpersonal skills are central to this role. You will be confident in writing reports, delivering presentations and negotiating with stakeholders, and be able to engage and influence effectively at all levels. As an excellent relationship builder, you will work collaboratively across teams and with external partners to support successful project delivery and commercial outcomes.
