Pastoral care
A safe environment to live, learn and experience
As a caring organisation, we keep aside part of our funding to provide a safety net to all our seasonal employees should things ever go wrong. Our care scheme is there to make an employee’s stay safer and more enjoyable. It includes ways to get help and advice in case of an emergency and a range of educational opportunities. We also make sure our seasonal employees make the most of their stay in the UK by encouraging them to mix with the local community.
Help for seasonal employees if things go wrong:
- The reassurance that we are always there to help anyone that needs it
- A telephone helpline and interpreting services
- We will help deserving cases with financial assistance as well as transport costs for seasonal employees travelling between farms due to a transfer that was not their fault
- Help with costs following a serious incident or accident
- One-off payments to employees who find themselves in financial difficulty
Educational opportunities for seasonal employees
- English language lessons
- Practical study trips
- We actively encourage the integration and interaction with the local community
