We have entered a partnership with salmon producer, Scottish Sea Farms, which will see us offer subsidised childcare for their employees in Shetland.
“When it first approached Hame Fae Hame in October 2021, Scottish Sea Farms was already a strongly family-oriented business with pro-family policies, including competitive maternity and paternity packages for new parents. As part of its wider goal to provide the optimum conditions to foster a diverse and inclusive workforce, Scottish Sea Farms sought to find a way to help parents with the cost of pre-school places and after-school care.
Families in Scotland are entitled to 21 hours of free childcare provision per week from the Scottish government, but Scottish Sea Farms sought to make this even more affordable. It was a move which its leadership team hoped would help entice more parents into its workforce.”
