Seasonal Work with G.H. Dean
As one of the leading growers of British fruit, we offer a range of seasonal job opportunities across our orchards during the harvest season, including fruit picking and general harvest work.
We are proud that many of our team return year after year, and we aim to make the experience of working with us as positive and well-supported as possible.
Seasonal contracts typically last between 4 and 6 months.
Joe Bloggs, Estate Coordinator
What to expect from the work
Working on the estate is practical and active, with most roles taking place outdoors as part of a team. The work can include picking fruit by hand, carrying equipment, working from platforms or helping with general farm tasks, depending on the season. It is important to be physically fit and comfortable working outside in different weather conditions.

When you join us, you become part of a supportive and hardworking team. We aim to create a safe, inclusive environment where people look out for one another and feel welcomed from the start. Full training is provided, whether this is your first time working on a farm or you have previous experience.
We offer on-site accommodation for those who need it, currently charged at £77.70 per week, including all bills such as gas, electricity and Wi-Fi. Options include caravans and converted stable buildings, with shared kitchen and social areas to help you settle in and get to know your team. Free laundry facilities and weekly transport to local supermarkets are also provided.
We pay weekly, with wages set at the National Minimum Wage. Piecework is available, giving experienced and efficient workers the opportunity to earn more. Work is typically available up to 6 days per week, depending on weather and harvest conditions. A usual working day may begin at around 8am and finish at approximately 5pm.
The estate is based just outside of Sittingbourne in Kent, with good access to nearby towns and transport links. During your time off, there are opportunities to visit places such as London, Canterbury and the Kent coast. Local shops and essential services are easily accessible.
