Employment Policies

“I've had incredible experiences living and working in different countries and with different cultures since I started as a trainee manager - from Poland to Israel to the Philippines and more. Doing the job successfully has given me a real sense of achievement.”

Paula Doherty

General Manager

McDonald's employs some of the best, most ambitious people on the job market. Whether they join as hourly-paid staff or management trainees through graduate or A level standard recruitment, they have the opportunity to develop a career which can take them to the very top.

Above all, McDonald's values people with a positive attitude towards customers, themselves and other employees, and who strive towards delivering the highest standards of quality, service and cleanliness. The ability to understand and adopt McDonald's customer - led culture is worth as much as the more usual career entry requirements of GCSEs and university degree.

The Company is an equal opportunity employer and in 1992 set up an Equal Opportunities Group to help foster a diverse workplace and highlight equal opportunities as an important part of the Company's ethos. McDonald's commitment to equal opportunity extends beyond race, gender, ethnic origin, marital status, colour, nationality or disability, to encompass people with very different backgrounds and experience.

Whether university graduates or those without formal qualifications, first jobbers or those who have worked for decades, what binds employees together is the knowledge that the opportunities are as great as an individual 's ambition and ability allow.
