More Than Just A Job
The goal is simple, to make healthy eating easy. To do this we need your support, building a scalable and maintainable web and native app that propels one of the UK's most loved start-ups forward. As a proud B-Corp we focus on using business as a force for good. We do this by balancing out people and planet with profit. For every recipe box bought we donate the equivalent of a school meal to a less developed country (over 19 million meals donated and counting...) and we have also pledged to go Net Zero by 2030 but there are so many other initiatives that we would love to tell you about!
If you would like to join the UK’s most loved start-ups and make a positive impact on people's lives, then we would love to speak with you.
