DELIVEROO is on the look-out for delivery drivers and riders in Widnes and Runcorn as part of its launch in the area next month.

The food delivery company is searching for new people to work with its network of restaurants, takeaways and grocery retailers across Halton to deliver to customers.

A spokesman said: "The expanding UK Deliveroo team are looking for people who value on-demand, flexible work and want the freedom to choose when, where and how to work.

"It is a great opportunity for people who have other commitments, such as existing work or students who are looking for flexible work to fit around study. It is also a good way to keep fit and earn money at the same time."

Deliveroo has seen rider demand soar this year and now works with 50,000 riders across the country.

The delivery drivers are considered key workers during pandemic.

The spokesman said: "To keep riders safe while out on the road, the company offers all riders free medical insurance to ensure all riders are protected. The company also offers other perks, such as free training courses for riders and their families."

Harrison Foster, Deliveroo’s UK regional director, added: “We’ve seen a huge demand for Deliveroo in Widnes and Runcorn and we’re excited to be launching next month. We’re really excited to be creating new work opportunities for people.

“The team is looking for people with passion, drive and great customer service who are seeking the added benefit of flexible work among other perks."
