Deliveroo is set to launch in Birkenhead later this month.

The food delivery service is now looking for anyone who rides a bicycle, scooter and motorbike to sign up to deliver tasty treats across the town.

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

Managing director of Deliveroo in UK and Ireland Dan Warne told the Globe: “We’ve seen a huge demand for Deliveroo in Birkenhead and we’re excited to be launching this 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.”

Deliveroo customers can schedule orders via the app up to one day in advance or receive food as soon as possible from independent eateries, traditional takeaways and chain restaurants.
