An apprenticeship at Mitie is more than a qualification. It’s a paid role, hands-on experience and a pathway into a long-term career with one of the UK’s leading facilities management and professional services organisations.

We offer apprenticeships at multiple levels, from entry-level roles through to higher and degree apprenticeships, combining structured learning with real responsibility from day one. We are creating an environment where everyone has a voice and is treated equally, and are investing in equality, diversity and inclusion programmes to ensure all our colleagues can bring their true selves to work.

“My industry qualification means I’ll never be short of work”

Imran joined Mitie as an electrical apprentice based at University College London Hospitals. He works alongside qualified engineers within a busy hospital in London where he undertakes a range of electrical maintenance tasks to ensure electrical systems are working safely and as they should be.

“I would definitely recommend an apprenticeship at Mitie. Not everyday is the same, we get to work on a lot of different things… We work as a team and the work we do is really valuable.”
