Pick for Britain website launched

The new Pick for Britain site is now  live. The website is a joint public sector and industry initiative to bring together those who are looking for work on UK farms over the harvest period with recruiters who have roles to fill. The website will act as a central hub to signpost people to the jobs available and to provide information about this type of work.

The site is a joint effort in partnership with AHDB, NFU, British Growers Association, Association of Labour Providers and Defra.  It links to the government Find A Job portal, enabling individuals to search for jobs by type and location and will link to a wide range of recruitment campaigns organised by labour providers. More information will be added to the website over the coming weeks.

Defra has asked us to make you aware of the Pick for Britain and Find A Job sites, and encourage suppliers and growers to list seasonal labour opportunities here, so that we can then look to start promoting the opportunities more broadly. Farmers with specific vacancies should use the Find a Job site, whilst labour providers/agencies should complete Pick for Britain’s online form in order to be highlighted on this site.
