How to take your job to University with you!
At Mitchells & Butlers, we understand that life is full of exciting changes, especially for our team members heading off to university. Balancing an academic journey with part-time work can be challenging, but we’re here to make it easier with our innovative M&Be Transferred scheme.

This program not only helps maintain a continuality of employment but also provides an opportunity to experience different environments and challenges within our diverse range of brands.
Stories from our team
Here are a few stories from our team members:
Sophie’s Story
"When I got accepted into university, I was thrilled but also worried about losing my job at my local Miller & Carter. Thanks to the M&Be Transferred scheme, I didn't have to start over. I transferred to a new location near my university and continued my role seamlessly. The support I received during the transition was fantastic, and it made settling into university life so much easier." - Sophie, Bar Team Member
Tom’s Experience
"Moving to a new city for university was daunting, but knowing I had a job waiting for me made it less stressful. I kept my part-time job as a chef, which helped me fund my student activities! Plus, I got to work in a different brand at Uni compared to at home, so I was able to learn a new way of working and meet new colleagues, which was a great experience." - Tom, Chef
Adele’s Journey
"I started working at a Premium Country Pub (PCP) during university, but when I finished my studies I wanted to continue working in the restaurant. I moved from Bristol to the Midlands and was able to move into a new role very quickly, supporting the growth of the PCP brand. This allowed me to establish that this was the field I wanted to build my career in, and as such developed into a General Manager!" - Adele, General Manager
