Within Scottish Sea Farms alone there are now over 50 different careers across 15 departments.
Many of the team joined the company from related roles bringing with them several years’ experience, while others amongst us joined us from school, college or university looking for their first role or transferred their skills from another sector.
What unites us all is a shared desire to do and be better; to push the boundaries as to what’s possible in the sphere of responsible food production, be it maximising animal welfare, minimising impact on the environment or making sure the remote and rural communities in which we live and farm reap the benefits of us being there.
Our values
Whatever our department, whatever our specialism, we share three common values:
We care… about our fish, our people, our communities and our environment. We’re part of a bigger family that helps one another so that we can all achieve.
We innovate… constantly striving to do the best job possible by exploring solutions to existing and emerging challenges.
We never forget our history… where we have come from, what we have learned, how we have grown and how we operate day in, day out; our history is as important as our future.
These three shared values guide every decision we make, ensuring we invest our time and resource where it matters most.
Our Testimonials
Creating jobs and investing in training and development is something we’ve been doing since day one. In 2012, we formalised this commitment by applying for, and being awarded, Investors in People accreditation – widely seen as the global benchmark in people management.
As such, companies must apply for re-accreditation every three years, showing continual professional development. We’re delighted to say that not only have we successfully retained our accreditation each time, but in 2018 we became only the seventh company in Scotland – and the first salmon grower in the UK – to be receive all three top Investors in People (IIP) awards.
Building on this further, at our most recent accreditation in 2021 we not only retained the We Invest in People Platinum Award and We Invest in Young People Gold Award, but we also scored Gold in the We Invest in Wellbeing Award, becoming just one of two companies in Scotland to do so.
