About the role

Strawberries and raspberries are normally picked from May until October. The rest of the year we are busy planting and looking after the plants. Some of the work available is in our Packhouse, weighing and checking the fruit before sale. Working mostly in a team with other people, everyone receives training and team leaders are always around to help. As fruit needs to be harvested when it is cool, work will often start at 5am. We usually harvest fruit 6 days/ week but due to the variability of weather, crop timing and customer demand, working hours vary.

About the company
