JOBSEEKERS are being encouraged to get on their bikes by a leading food delivery firm.
Deliveroo is set to launch a local service later this month and is on the lookout for bicycle, scooter or motorbike riders who would like to get involved.
The new recruits will be tasked with delivering food from local eateries, cooked fresh to order and delivered to customers in as little as 15 minutes.
Dan Warne, managing director of Deliveroo in UK and Ireland, said: "We've seen a huge demand for Deliveroo and 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."
Deliveroo customers have the option to schedule orders via an app up to one day in advance or receive food as soon as possible from independent eateries, traditional takeaways and high-quality chain restaurants.
