6 Our CAREER PATH Crew Management Consultancy OPERATIONS & FRANCHISEE CONSULTANTS BUSINESS MANAGER ASSISTANT MANAGER WORK INSPIRATION CREW MEMBER APPRENTICE CUSTOMER CARE ASSISTANT CREW TRAINER SHIFT MANAGER TRAINEE MANAGER

7 I m doing my AS-levels. If I go on to university, I ll apply to whichever McDonald s is near. Crew Members are the backbone of our restaurants. They re the people who serve our customers, help prepare food in the kitchens and generally create a clean and welcoming environment. For most people, they re the face of McDonald s. So friendliness, a cool head and a can-do attitude are vital. KEY SKILLS You ll need to have a knack with people and be able to thrive in a busy environment. Customer service skills and a positive attitude are essential. There are a wide range of perks available, including performance-related bonuses and meal allowances. There s also an Employee Discount Card that offers savings at over 1,600 retailers, including Sainsbury s, M&S and Topshop. Job role #1 Alicia Trent Bridge Crew Members get the chance to build on their training by taking an Apprenticeship (see pp 10-11) while they work. This gives them a nationally-recognised qualification, comparable to GCSEs. Over 90% of our managers started out as Crew Members, so there s real potential to progress. 08 We need more Crew Members like Alicia. So if you re a great team player, check out mcdonalds.co.uk/people where you can find out more about the role and send in an application.

8 If I apply to join the Armed Forces, the qualifications I ve picked up will definitely be an advantage. Job role #2 Our Apprenticeship programme is a fantastic opportunity to study while you work. By completing the programme, our Apprentices gain a qualification that s equivalent to five good GCSEs (A*-C grade). If you re highly motivated, it s a great way to deepen your understanding of our business and boost your career prospects. KEY SKILLS The Apprenticeship takes at least 12 months to complete. So you ll need to be eager to learn, and good at juggling work and study. The Intermediate Apprenticeship in Hospitality and Catering includes sections in English, maths and ICT. Apprentices learn about customer service, food preparation and cleanliness. They also find out about the business and what we do for local communities and the environment. Some of the elements of the Apprenticeship can be completed online, where there s help from an online tutor. And there are regular catch-ups with your Crew Trainer. Nathan Canterbury As well as gaining a nationally-recognised qualification, Apprentices can get a wide range of benefits including money off at over 1,600 retailers. 10 We re always looking for enthusiastic team members like Nathan. Most people who take the Apprenticeship programme are Crew Members, although it s open to everyone who works for us.

9 Tash Catterick Garrison It doesn t matter what age you are or where you re from. It s a really friendly place to work. Everyone who visits our restaurants should feel welcome, and this is where our Customer Care Assistants have such an important role to play. They work in the dining area to make sure all our customers are having a good time, whether that s by chatting to them or making sure everything s spotless. KEY SKILLS The number one skill you ll need is the ability to read people. We re after friendly and approachable types who don t mind rolling their sleeves up and helping out customers. There are lots of perks to being a Customer Care Assistant, including 28 days holiday and bonuses related to your restaurant s performance. Like many of our restaurant team members, Customer Care Assistants have the flexibility to fit their work around other interests and responsibilities. Job role #3 The customer service skills you ll develop will be really useful if you decide to move up the business. Some of our Crew Trainers and managers started out as Customer Care Assistants. 12 We re always on the lookout for Customer Care Assistants like Tash. If you like working with people and have a positive attitude, then this could be the role for you.

10 There s nothing better than being able to look at someone and say, I trained them and they re really good. Our Crew Trainers do far more than just show new starters the ropes or check their work. They provide inspiration to a team of Crew Members and Apprentices, helping them become the best they can be. If you re highly motivated and great at coaching people, this could be your first step towards a management role. KEY SKILLS Working at McDonald s is about being organised and enthusiastic. Brilliant people skills are really important too, as is an eye for detail. It s a role where you lead by example, so you ll need to be a dab hand at making a Big Mac, and an expert at making customers smile. There are lots of great benefits available, including employee discounts at high street stores and performance-related bonuses.

11 People don t realise just how much you can get out of McDonald s. There s something for everyone. Shift Managers are the people who run our restaurants on a day-to-day basis. They re responsible for everything from keeping the kitchen stocked to keeping the team motivated, so that every customer gets the great service they expect. For ambitious Crew Trainers, this is a very rewarding next step. KEY SKILLS Being good with all kinds of people is a must. And it can get pretty busy in our restaurants, so a cool head is vital. You ll need to be very practical, but able to focus on the bigger business picture. It s a challenging mix. If you help your restaurant get great business results, you could be in line for a performance-related bonus.

12 I love the team spirit and I m learning different things all the time. The Trainee Manager Programme is a fast-track to running a multi-million pound restaurant. It s open to graduates or people with a background in business. Once they ve completed the initial programme, our Trainee Managers then start off as Assistant Managers but if you ve got the drive and ambition, there s no limit to how far you can go. From day one, Trainee Managers are on the shop floor learning how the business works. So you ll need to be a quick learner who s keen to get involved.

14 Through my job I m now someone who gets involved in the community. Each Business Manager runs an entire restaurant which means looking after a team of around 80 people and a business with an average turnover of 2 million. Making sure their restaurant is profitable and well-managed is ultimately down to them. It s a high profile role, and a great opportunity to let your leadership skills shine. Like all good leaders, our Business Managers need great communication skills and a knack for getting the best out of people. You ll also need to be a brilliant multi-tasker.
