Food Rescue Driver Assistant

Our drivers are out on the road every day rescuing food and delivering it across the regions. Volunteer Driver Assistants help our Drivers with this task and get a first-hand look at the type of food we rescue and the communities we are helping to support.

You will start each day at your local branch and help in the efficient and timely collection and redistribution of surplus food. The role requires lifting of up to 15kgs at a time and you are required to wear comfy clothing and closed in shoes. We will provide you with a branded hi-vis vest to wear.

YOUR TASKS THROUGHOUT THE DAY WILL INCLUDE:

• Load food into the van in accordance with approved food handling guidelines
• Log details of volume/types of food collected into our system
• Assist in distribution of food to recipient agencies
• Liaise with food donors/recipient charities
• Be an ambassador for KiwiHarvest, and represent us in a positive manner in all dealings with donors, recipients, and the general public

Masks are recommended but not mandated on our site or in the vehicles

A KiwiHarvest hi-vis vest will be supplied and you will be required to wear this at all times
