Are you a hard worker who enjoys the outdoors? Are you looking for summer work in a friendly team?

Growing Communities Dagenham Farm are looking for someone to work with us on seasonal picking and packing farm work during the peak growing season. Our 1.4 hectare organic farm grows salad and mixed greenhouse crops (such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers) for sale to local outlets and our weekly veg box scheme.

This role would suit someone who enjoys the outdoors and is happy to do repetitive, physically demanding work. We are a small and friendly team. Hours can be somewhat flexible dependent on candidate’s needs, though usually need to be on Mondays and Tuesdays.

The role is based at Growing Communities Dagenham Farm, by Central Park off Rainham Road North, RM10 7EJ.

This role is offered on a zero hours basis, as shifts offered will vary according to peak times and sessional cover required. This means that number of shifts is not guaranteed, and there is no obligation to accept shifts. However, we try to offer shifts with as much advance notice as possible, and will have shifts to fill every week from April to end of July at a minimum.

Shifts are most often on Mondays and Tuesdays, and shorter shifts/somewhat flexible hours can be possible to fit into school hours or other commitments. Pay rate will be £11.95 an hour (+£1.44 accrued holiday pay an hour) Totalling £13.39 an hour.

Deadline: Applications on a rolling basis until the right candidates are found for this season. We look forward to meeting you.
