Temporary Relief Staff for the Pig Industry
Since 1990, Roadhogs has been the only recruitment agency in the UK specialising in the pig industry. We employ a skilled and experienced team of stockpeople, from pressure washers to managers and everyone in between, and send them on assignment wherever they are needed.
Our relief service is utilised by breeding companies, colleges and leading producers throughout the UK, and our staff can adapt to new units very quickly.
Our relief team offers:
1. Speedy Turnaround
- You can pre-book to secure cover for holidays & other planned absences in advance
- We can also provide personnel within 24 hours
2. Cost-effective Reassurance
- Our service is a cost-effective alternative to permanent staffing
- We are holders of a Gangmasters Licence
3. Accommodation Management
- Some of our staff may be local and able to work from their own residences
- Or, we can organise temporary accommodation so you don’t have to
4. Compatability & Skill Matching
- Let Roadhogs source the talent
- We employ the workers and maintain a bank of staff with diverse experience, from farmhands to experienced managers
How it works:
We have people available at short notice – in some cases, within 24 hours – and cover holidays and other unforeseen dates in advance with our pre-booking system.
Minimum booking is one week, with no maximum, and we are happy to consider long-term assignments.
Our temporary relief service saves on employers’ costs, and you will not be required to pay Employers NI, workplace pension, holiday pay or SSP. Our terms are very competitive and compare favourably with permanent staffing rates.
We are also holders of a Gang Masters Licence, which protects workers from exploitation.
Relief staff will generally require accommodation, which can range from mobile homes, B&B’s and house shares, but if no accommodation is available, we can look at sourcing it locally for a fee. Some of our staff could be local to you and can commute from home.
