A note from our Meals and a Chat Manager
We caught up with Jason, our Meals and a Chat Manager to find out what the role entails. Have a read and if you could see yourself taking this role, apply today!
“My favourite, and the most important, part of the role is talking to members of the community in their own home – quite often they haven’t seen anyone for a few days, so we’re here to offer a friendly face. Although I only stay with each customer for a few minutes I often leave having heard a new story that’s made me smile! Of course, the role involves riding a cargo bike, so you’ll have to be confident cycling, but it’s surprisingly easy as it’s electric.”
