At The Lunch Bag, we deliver healthy, hot school meals to children across Ireland. We are the country’s leading school meal provider and are on a mission to help children build healthy habits for life. We’re changing children’s lives, one lunch at a time. Bonus? You’re off when the schools are.
What’s the job?
We’re on the hunt for School Lunch Operatives – reliable, cheerful people who take pride in doing everything right and bring a bit of warmth to every school day. As the final link in the lunch chain, you will heat meals in our headquarters in Nenagh, load them into vans, and drive them to schools.
Responsibilities

What We’re Looking For
We need doers who are sound, good‑natured, and genuinely care about doing a good job. You must be able to lift 14‑kg boxes and possibly climb stairs. You should work quickly, remain calm under pressure, read English, and hold a full clean Irish driving licence.
When will I work?
This part‑time role is 5 hours a day, Monday through Friday. Typical hours are 09:00 to 13:00, with some flexibility required for earlier or later start and finish times.
Will I work all year long?
