Join us and you will become part of a crew, or a team, that works together to provide the best customer experience. If you have visited one of our restaurants before, you have probably got some idea of what is involved in working here. But you might not realise the variety and scope of the role. We want every McDonald’s customer to have a brilliant experience, every time they visit. That means hot food in a clean and friendly restaurant. As a Crew Member, you will make it happen, whether you’re preparing food, serving on the till or being out in the dining areas looking after our customers’ needs.
A franchised restaurant is a restaurant operated by a local businessperson trading under the McDonald’s name. Currently over 80% of our restaurants in the UK are franchised but from a customer point of view there is no difference. For employees there will be minor differences between a company and a franchised restaurant. Please refer to additional information for more details.

Quite simply, you will be working in our fast moving, high energy environment and we are looking for a genuine smile plus an ability to connect with customers and make them feel valued.

Proud to love it. Some people like houses with history. Others, they like something a bit more modern. But what most people do agree on, is that it is your kitchen and bathroom that makes your house feel like a home.
Being a Kitchen and Bathroom Advisor at Wickes takes a lot of character.

All you need, really, is you. Just be yourself, be prepared to make some great new friends and be the best that you can be.
If you are as excited by kitchen and bathroom design as we are, come and do it with us. As a Kitchen and Bathroom Advisor, you will help turn dreams into reality.
