Assistant Harvest Manager Soft Fruit - Hampshire DOE + accommodation + discretionary bonus Want to be part of something bigger than just a harvest? This isn't a tick-the-box type role. It's about stepping into a business that lives and breathes soft fruit, with a scale that means no two days are ever the same. With over 80 hectares in production, the harvest is right at the heart of the operation.
