Job Description
Duties
This is a developmental opportunity, no experience necessary. Accredited training will be provided to support your career.
We are looking for a driver with a clean driving license to work as a delivery driver with FoodCloud, a social enterprise with a warehouse based in Oranmore, Co. Galway. Any applicant should be self-motivated with a good work ethic. This job is 19.5 hours per week and is a community employment scheme position.
How Food Cloud works:A store has perfectly good food that they cannot sell, in seconds, they upload a description of the food using their in-store scanner or our smartphone app. A local charity linked to the store through our platform receives a notification letting them know food is available for collection.
The charity responds accepting the food and they go and collect it. It’s a win-win! Charities have access to a supply of fresh food and businesses can contribute to their community in a meaningful way. Our partner charities, from breakfast clubs to homeless hostels to family support services, benefit through making savings on their food costs.
This allows them to relocate their funding towards their core service and support their underlying mission.
