Insurance

Hi everyone,
I recently got selected for a part-time cashier job at a supermarket in Germany. I came to Germany with a Chancenkarte and currently have Dr. Walter insurance.
The hiring manager told me that I need to switch to a public health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) before I can start working. However, when I contacted public health insurance providers, they said they need my employment contract (Arbeitsvertrag) before they can register me.
Now I’m stuck in a loop:
The employer says I need public insurance before I can start.
The insurance company says they need my employment contract first.
Has anyone been in a similar situation with a Chancenkarte? How did you solve it? Is there a way to get public insurance before starting work, or should my employer provide the employment contract first?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I am currently living in Munich and looking for a part-time job. I have experience in healthcare and marketing and am actively learning German (currently completed B1 level).
I have applied for many jobs online but have received mostly rejections due to German language requirements.
