Concordia is proud to be selected to deliver the Seasonal Worker Pilot Scheme, which was extended in December 2020.
In 2021 the UK Government extended the Pilot scheme from 10,000 to 30,000 VISAs available for seasonal workers on UK farms. These seasonal workers are a vital component to the success of the UK’s edible horticultural industry.
Concordia’s holistic approach to the labour supply chain ensures the highest ethical standard in the agricultural sector. Workers do not pay agents any optional non-recruitment fees, have free travel insurance, a comprehensive care package and are placed at farms that have invested in training, amenities and participant welfare. Concordia works closely with the NFU (National Farmers Union) to ensure that non-EU workers go to work in areas of the UK with the greatest need. Concordia attempts to send all workers to farms with larger groups of seasonal workers, to minimise feelings of isolation and loneliness.
If you are a worker who would like to take part in the scheme, please contact G Solutions Group in your country directly. If successfully selected for a placement, you will receive your Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) number from Concordia, then need to obtain a visa via your local visa centre. Your agent will support you with this process.
