Summary of the Opportunity

This is a “gig economy” role, meaning you are your own boss. You don’t have an interview or a manager; you simply log on when you want to work. It is ideal for those who need a side income that can be turned on or off instantly.

Quick Tip: If you deliver by car or motorbike, your standard personal insurance will not cover you for delivery work. You must ensure your policy includes “Hire & Reward” or use a pay-as-you-go insurance provider like Zego.
