FOOD delivery service Deliveroo is set to launch in Taunton.

The company is on the search for drivers and riders across the town as it prepares to launch next month.

Deliveroo is appealing to car, bicycle, scooter or motorbike riders or drivers to deliver food from restaurants across the town, cooked fresh to order and delivered to customers in as little as 15 minutes.

New riders are automatically enrolled in a free insurance package to ensure all are covered while out on the road.

Harrison Foster, Deliveroo’s UK regional director, said: “We’ve seen a huge demand for Deliveroo in Taunton 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.”

Customers have the option to schedule orders via the Deliveroo app up to one day in advance or receive food as soon as possible from independent eateries, traditional takeaways and high-quality chain restaurants, conveniently delivered to their homes.
