Plan Thrive

As the UK’s leading facilities management company, we know a thing or two about what makes places thrive. The first step is listening to the needs of the communities we serve. Using their insights, alongside feedback from our colleagues, customers, social value partners and place-based data, we identify opportunities to solve social challenges and create positive impact.

Armed with local knowledge, we design initiatives that align with the goals of our customers, stakeholders and communities. From employability support and sustainable careers to environmental improvements, every initiative is rooted in meaningful transformation. Since 2020, the Mitie Foundation has dedicated almost 100,000 volunteering hours to local communities and environmental or charity projects like Macmillan coffee mornings.

At Mitie, we believe everyone can thrive with the right support. Plan Thrive creates pathways for sustainable futures – breaking down barriers to opportunity. Through the Mitie Foundation, our Engineering Graduate Scheme and our Early Careers programme, we’re building on what works, and also implementing new hiring models to overcome barriers to employment.

Our flagship Ready2Work programme has delivered support in over 60 locations to assist disadvantaged groups with the transition into work. This includes ex-offenders, care leavers, homeless people, veterans, long-term unemployed and those with disabilities. We provide apprenticeships and learning schemes to help people from all backgrounds find employment, close skills gaps and prepare for the future.

Finding a job is just the first step. We make sure our colleagues are supported, upskilled and set up to succeed. We do so through an inclusive culture that champions wellbeing. Our award-winning learning and development, strong career pathways and standout employee value proposition helps colleagues to grow and thrive so their communities benefit too.
