We’re focused on long-term growth. Our pubs & pub restaurants continue to seize an ever growing share of the informal, value-for-money eating and drinking-out markets. And because we work hard our appetite keeps on growing.

Training & Profiles

The Corporate Graduate Scheme offers roles in Operations (including opportunities to specialise in HR and Marketing), Business Solutions through IT, Property, Purchasing, and Finance; our Finance Scheme is CIMA accredited.

Corporate graduates will be expected to reach a Senior Manager role within 5 years and all achieve a substantive role within 2 years, (e.g. a Retail Business Manager role with line management responsibility for 12 pub managers and an area turnover circa £12m p.a.).

The Corporate Scheme offers a structured training programme, including professional qualifications (where applicable) and on and off job training. We provide ongoing reviews, formal coaching, mentoring and a graduate buddy system.

The Retail Graduate Scheme offers roles in Pub Management and within 2 years graduates could be managing a team of up to 50 people in a pub with a turnover of £1m p.a. The eventual target role will be Retail Business Manager, with line management responsibility for 12 pub managers.

We'll put you on the fast-track to a management role in one of our Pub Restaurants through a mixture of on-the-job experience and formal training. While you'll receive full support, your progress will be very much up to you - the more self-motivated you are, the faster you'll achieve success.

Case Studies

Name: Sara Watson
Degree: Geography
University: Newcastle upon Tyne
Role: HR Business Partner

I joined the Corporate Graduate Scheme in 2007 and my greatest achievement to date is being appointed to the HR Business Partner role after just over a year with the company. As a Graduate, you’re given responsibility from day one and that’s been vitally important for my own personal development. Working on real projects gives you the chance to demonstrate your skills, and the opportunity to progress quickly is a great feature of the Mitchells and Butlers Corporate Graduate Scheme.

My role as a HR Business Partner is focused on the recruitment, training and development of our employees. I have direct responsibility for one of our brands and am empowered to make the teams that work in that business as effective as possible. Mitchells & Butlers is particularly committed to developing training for our employees at all levels, so my role is much more interesting as a result. Every week is different and there is a huge amount of variety in the tasks I complete day to day!

I have an exciting and challenging role which is varied and the people I work with make my job particularly enjoyable; having the support network of a fantastic team and being able to deliver real results that have my name on them makes everything worthwhile!

The Company is currently providing support for me to complete my CIPD qualification. On completion of my professional qualification, I will have the opportunity to develop my HR career within Mitchells & Butlers.

Name: Becka Griffin
Degree: Graphic Arts
University: Liverpool John Moores
Role: Licensed House Manager

I started while at Uni as bar staff in a then Firkin pub in Liverpool in 2001.

I then transferred to the nearby Scream (Hope and Anchor) in my third year.

Nearing graduation my Licensed House Manager at the time told me about the Retail Graduate Scheme and it sounded like a really good idea. I attended the assessment centre just before graduating and was taken on as an Assistant Manager in a Scream in Oxford. After six months I moved to the Up in Arms in Reading as Assistant Manager, stayed there for a year then came back to the Hope and Anchor as Assistant Manager. The then Licensed House Manager left and I did a holding relief for three months before finally getting the Licensed House Manager’s position in January 2004.

In the past two years the Hope and Anchor’s food trade has gone from strength to strength, we operate a late license on a Thursday and show football on our big screen. I have a fantastic management team made up of full-time and part-time team leaders who do an amazing job.

One of the best parts of my job is seeing people achieve their potential. When one of my Team Leaders got his first Assistant Manager's position I felt really proud. I am also lucky enough to get on with my staff really well - some of them I have known since I worked alongside them as bar staff. Bonuses can be quite nice too!
