Dive into why it's the most wonderful time of the year to be part of the Mitchells & Butlers team:

'Tis the season to be jolly, not stressed:

Let's face it, between working, Secret Santa shindigs and family feasts, the holiday season can be a bit of a juggling act. 

But fear not, because we understand that your calendar is bursting at the seams with festive plans. 

Hospitality is one of the biggest employment sectors in the UK, running on a variety of hours to keep the nation jolly. The flexibility that the industry can provide you is second to none, making pubs great for part-time job seekers.

With flexible shifts, you'll enjoy having a little more control over your time.

Plus, the flexibility we offer is especially great for students at Christmas. If you’re a uni student, our M&B Transferred programme makes it really easy for you to transfer to an M&B business either home or away.

Perks that ‘sleigh’:

Picture this: employee discounts and benefits that'll add a pep to your step and make your wallet sing with joy. 

Whether it's a post-shift tipple or a festive feast with friends, you'll be spreading the love (and the savings) all season long with 33% off your total food and drink bill at M&B pubs and restaurants. 

Enjoy all our brands have to offer, from award-winning steak at Miller & Carter to a refreshing espresso martini at All Bar One

Team spirit, mistletoe optional:

Deck the halls with boughs of holly and your fantastic team spirit! Mitchells & Butlers pubs and restaurants are all about fostering a supportive and fun work environment. 

The camaraderie is as infectious as a catchy Christmas jingle, making your shifts merrier than Santa on Christmas Eve. 

If you’re wondering whether you have enough experience, our bar staff and waiting teams offer plenty of training on the job, so with the right attitude, you could be serving up cocktails and smiles in no time. 

Holiday magic in the kitchen:

If you're passionate about turning your love of food into a career, M&B pubs and restaurants are the perfect place to stir up some holiday kitchen magic. 

What better way to ignite your foodie passions than joining the ranks of a fun and bustling kitchen team at Christmas time? 

You could start off as a kitchen assistant to learn the ropes, and who knows, by next Christmas, you could be running the show.

If you’re an experienced kitchen professional looking for a step up or wondering what Christmas shifts are like at M&B, dive into what to expect from a kitchen manager job.

‘Sleigh’ this festive season with flexible part time Christmas jobs
