Information Technology Graduate Scheme 2026
Hello! We’re Mitchells & Butlers, a big player in the UK hospitality game. Throughout the UK we have over 1,750 vibrant pubs, restaurants and bars across 18 successful and varied brands. You may have never heard of us before but you’re sure you’ve heard of a few of our brands like All Bar One, Miller & Carter and Toby Carvery.
We set the industry standard when it comes to delivering excellent guest service and great food & drink but none of this would be possible without our amazing teams of people and our I.T teams are a crucial ingredient to our success.
You may not assume hospitality are leaders in the tech space but you’ll be amazed at how much tech impacts our industry and the impact you could have here! Whether you are a guest or one of our employee’s tech is at the heart of what we do and the innovative solutions we create. If this ignites your fire this could be the scheme for you!
So what are we looking for from our I.T graduates
Our scheme and our industry need ambitious graduates with bags of drive and determination. We won’t lie, our scheme is hard work at times but it’s so rewarding. If you’re made of the right stuff you’ll smash it and go on to do great things with us. If you see yourself as a future tech leader in hospitality this is the opportunity for you!
I.T graduate scheme Overview
Our 18 month scheme fast tracks you to your first role in I.T and we will make sure you have every opportunity to learn all the necessary technical skills needed to support our frontline pubs and restaurants but also for a successful career in I.T. You’ll learn loads on the job and through an arrange of placements throughout the I.T function.
We will make sure you get there by
- Pub Bar or Restaurant placements (Weeks 2 to 3)
- Rotational placements across the I.T Function - Security and Compliance, Architecture Business Analysis and Service Operations (Month 2 to 12)
