Tips for Successful Job Application

  1. Jobs will be offered from the 11th October on a rolling basis so apply early. 
  2. Farmiliarise yourself with our accommodation options before applying here.
  3. Have Photo ID and Visa documents ready to upload. 
  4. Applying in large groups of 5 or more people can be a disadvantage as groups this big are difficult to place in accommodation.  
  5. Make sure everyone in your group writes the full legal name of your friends. Be clear if you are traveling in the same campervan etc as your friends or if you have seperate vehicles. 
  6. Cromwell is a small rural town, there is no public transport, you will need a car to get around comfortably.
  7. You do not need a CV to apply, but please fill out the experience section with any relevant work that you have done. 
  8. Only apply once, duplicate applications will be deleted.

All the best, we hope you will be part of our 2024/25 Harvest Team!
