Overview
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. Are you flexible, bubbly, and keen to bring a little extra joy to the school day? We’re looking for people who want to help us keep driving forward and doing something great. Bonus? You’re off when the schools are!
What’s the job?
We’re on the hunt for 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.
Responsibilities
* 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-natured, 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 may also need to lift 14kg boxes as part of the job. You may also need to climb some stairs – not every facility in Ireland has a lift.
* Working for children is really rewarding – their cute little faces can brighten your day; just don’t let them get hungry or they’ll turn into tiny monsters! You’ll need the ability to read English, a full clean Irish driving licence, and the ability to heat each lunch with care.
Hours & Availability
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. You will work with us for approximately 183 days of the year and will have the rest off. Our staff sign on to Social Welfare as Educational Sector Workers during the summer months.
Benefits
Well, for starters - a genuinely supportive team who’ve got your back. The role’s flexible, ideal if you’re looking to ease back into work or just want something steady during school terms.
Compensation
It’s THE question everybody is asking! The same way we take care of the children in the schools, we take care of our people. You will earn €14.00 per hour – 50c above minimum wage.
