Working for Hiller Farms
Strawberry picking at Hiller Farms
Hiller Farms employ
around 20 permanent staff and around 250 casual summer harvest
staff. Hiller Farms are equal opportunity employers. All staff
must comply with current legal requirements of the UK employment
system, anyone from outside the EU must have the correct work
visa. Hiller Farms CANNOT help to attain visas in any way.
Around half of our summer staff come through HOPS GB who are an
approved SAWS (seasonal agricultural workers scheme) agent. The
remainder of our summer staff come through Fruitful Jobs and are
in the main from the EU including the accession countries.
We
can provide accommodation in caravans or portacabins for summer
staff, although it is not compulsory to live on site and we are
happy to employ casual staff (as long as employment legalities are
met) who do not live on site. Staff living on site have the use
of a free bus service to the local supermarket.
Much of the work is done on a piecework basis where you get paid
for what you do. Some jobs are paid on an hourly basis, however
this is at our discretion. Hiller Farms pays the current UK
minimum wage to all casual staff.
Please note that Seasonal workers are strictly casual workers.
That means that work will be offered on a daily basis only and
there is no guarantee of permanent or future employment.
