Wait, What Do You Do?

Born in 1971, the roots of Mulberry are in Somerset, England. For more than fifty years, Mulberry has been a British lifestyle brand, internationally acclaimed for quality and design capturing the Mulberry Spirit.

Sustainability has been part of the Mulberry ethos since the brand's inception, in recognition of our purpose-driven approach, in 2024 we proudly achieved B Corp Certification.

Today, we are a global brand, but our values remain the same; we are committed to improving our impact on people and the planet. To do this our people are honest, dynamic, and community spirited.

If these are values you share, we would love you to join our team.

The Role

Following the success of Mulberry’s apprenticeship programmes, which began in 2006, we are pleased to introduce a Level 3 Business Admin Apprenticeship within our Sustainability team.

This role offers a unique opportunity to learn about sustainability in a global luxury brand, gaining hands-on experience while developing the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to build a career in sustainability, supply chain or responsible business.

The Three Cs are the guiding principles of our sustainability journey, with each outlining Mulberry’s ambitions and progress made; Climate, Circularity and Community. Alongside day-to-day work, the apprentice will complete a formal apprenticeship qualification: a Level 3 Business Admin Standard, combining practical experience with structured learning. The qualification will be delivered by the UCS College Group.
