Takeaway giant Deliveroo is on the look-out for drivers and riders in Tonbridge, ahead of plans to bring the fast food service to the town in the new year.

The delivery firm is appealing for car, bike, scooter or motorbike riders or drivers to bring fresh food from restaurants to customers in 20 minutes.

Deliveroo says the opportunity provides a chance to stay fit while earning cash, plus new riders are automatically enrolled in a first-of-its-kind free insurance package to ensure all are covered while out on the road.

UK regional director Harrison Foster said: “We’ve seen a huge demand for Deliveroo in Tonbridge and we’re excited to be launching next month; we’re really excited to be creating new work opportunities for local people.

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

"We would encourage anyone looking for a fast paced and active job to apply through our website.”
