No published policyMitchells & Butlers Graduate Schemes 2027 (Finance, IT, HR, Marketing)

Unconfirmed. Mitchells & Butlers publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate schemes 2027, so we cannot state a firm answer. Mitchells & Butlers runs the pubs and restaurants behind All Bar One, Harvester, Miller & Carter, Browns, Toby Carvery, Ember Inns, Nicholson's, Castle and Ego, and its 2027 graduate cycle is one of the most precisely dated in the sector. Four graduate schemes are named: Finance, IT, HR and Marketing. The intake is October 2027 and the company is unusually blunt about scale, recruiting one graduate for each function and framing it as one opportunity per function, one chance to stand out. Applications open in two stages: Finance and IT plus Property were already open at the time of checking, with Finance and IT closing 28 September 2026 and Property closing 12 October 2026, and HR and Marketing opening 5 October. Live vacancies put the Information Technology Graduate Scheme and the Commercial Finance Graduate Scheme at GBP 30,000 per annum, both based in Birmingham, both offering a single place. Entry criteria are a 2:1 achieved or on track, with the Finance role additionally listing ABB. Operational placements in pubs and restaurants form part of the development.

“We're recruiting one graduate for each function for our October 2027 intake, so if you see an opportunity that's right for you, don't miss your chance to apply.”
Mitchells & Butlers, from its own careers pages
The catch: One place per function means the odds are brutal even by graduate scheme standards. GBP 30,000 sits below the Skilled Worker general salary threshold, so a sponsored route would be hard to construct even if M&B were willing, and the company publishes no sponsorship position at all. Deadlines are staggered: Finance and IT closed 28 September 2026, Property 12 October 2026, with HR and Marketing opening 5 October. All roles are Birmingham based.
