Join to apply for the School Lunch Assistant role at The Lunch Bag.
A Little Bit About Us
Looking for a job that actually makes a difference – and fits into your day‑to‑day routine? At The Lunch Bag, we deliver healthy, hot school meals to children across Ireland. We're the country’s leading school meal provider, and we’re on a mission to help children build healthy habits for life. We’re changing children’s lives, one lunch at a time.
So, what’s the job?
We're on the hunt for a School Lunch Assistant – reliable, cheerful people who take pride in doing things right and bring a bit of warmth to every school day.
Think of yourself as the final link in the lunch chain. All meals are prepared in our headquarters in Nenagh, Tipperary, and then delivered to the Hot Drop Locations. It’s from there that you’ll take over. Your duties will consist of heating the meals in the oven, loading them into vans, and driving them to the schools.
* Load pre‑packaged school meals into ovens.
* Turn on oven and heat meals to specific temperature according to HACCP guidelines.
* Unload ovens and load into vans.
* Drive the lunches in a company vehicle to the local schools.
* Ensure adequate stock levels.
* Follow and maintain work and cleaning schedule.
* Maintain temperature and cleaning records.
* HACCP and Manual Handling Training will be provided.
What We’re Looking For
Since you’ll be representing The Lunch Bag in schools, we’re looking for doers – people who are sound, good‑hearted, and genuinely care about doing a good job. Our values matter to us, and to keep improving the lives of children across the country, we need people who share that same goal.
You should be able to lift 14 kg boxes as part of the job and climb stairs where lifts are not available. Working with children is rewarding – their tiny faces brighten your day. We need someone who can work quickly, stay calm under pressure, and still do things properly. All you need is the ability to read English, a full clean Irish driving licence, and the care to heat each lunch properly.
When will I work?
This job is offered on a part‑time basis, 5 hours a day, Monday through Friday.
Will I have to work all year long?
No. As schools close for the summer, we follow the academic calendar. As a result, you will work with us approximately 183 days a year and will have the rest off to enjoy well‑deserved rest.
What benefits do I get by joining The Lunch Bag?
You'll be part of a genuinely supportive team that’s got your back. The role is flexible – ideal if you’re looking to ease back into work or want something steady during school terms. You will earn €14.00 per hour – 50 c above minimum wage.
