We are recruiting for Harvest 2024!
VINEYARD WORKER - HARVEST 2024
Job description
We are recruiting enthusiastic local people to join our team of vineyard workers working at sites across the region.
The team carries out various manual tasks in vineyards for 7 to 8 hours per day (typically 8am – 3.30pm) from Monday to Friday in vineyards across the region. During the grape harvest, weekend work may also be available.
Work is available from now through to October with the potential to also join the team for other flexible, seasonal tasks throughout the year.
The Vineyard Worker position is a temporary, zero hours contract basis paying per hour for time worked in the vines, including a 15-minute paid morning break but excluding a 30-minute unpaid lunch break and travel time. Holiday pay is accrued as part of this contract.
Due to the remote nature of vineyards, you need access to your own car. Please note, work sites are spread across Essex, Suffolk and Hertfordshire.
We ask for a minimum commitment of 2 days per week and require advance notice of availability. We will give as much notice as possible on days when work is not available, for instance, in extreme weather. Flexibility is required in working hours during the harvest period which is dictated by weather conditions.
Candidates must:
- Be eligible to work in the UK
- Be physically fit and willing to work outdoors all day in all weather conditions
- Have their own transport and be willing to drive to work
- Have a strong work ethic and be happy to work as part of a team
- Have a degree of flexibility in working hours depending on the season’s weather
All work scheduling is via the PlanDay app which requires a mobile device operating Android 8 / IOS 16 or higher.
- Temporary, zero-hours contract
- Pay: Up to £11.75 per hour
