Working in the UK

Students - EU Nationals

If you come from a country within the EU you will not need a work permit but you need to register under the "Workers Registration Scheme" with the Home Office once you are here. Assistance will be provided to do this by TW Busby & Son

Students - Non-EU Nationals

All Non-EU Nationals who work at TW Busby & Son must have a valid work permit. If you are a student in full time education you may be eligible for a place on the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme (SAWS) run by licensed operators approved by the Home Office

To be part of the Scheme, you need to be a full-time student (but not in your final year) aged at least 18 and hold a full passport. Details of the Scheme can be found on the Working in the UK website.

For recruitment please contact HOPS (GB) on www.hopsgb.org.uk - the licensed operator with whom TW Busby & Son are registered.

Students - Commonwealth countries

Non-EU students require work permits to enable them to work in the UK. If you are a student from a Commonwealth country, you can work in the UK provided you have a "Working Holiday" permit. These can be obtained from the British Embassy in your home country before you travel to the UK.

Non-Students

Opportunities exist for all EU nationals. Assistance with registering with the "Workers Registration Scheme" is available on request for non-UK citizens.

If you arrive on the farm without the correct documentation, we will be unable to give you work or accommodation.
