Operative
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! So, what’s the job? We’re on the hunt for School Lunch Operatives – reliable, cheerful poeple 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. If you’re a detail addict and thought this was a little vague, here’s a list for you: 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. We’re not asking for bodybuilders, but you do need to be able 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! So we’re looking for someone who can work quickly, stay calm under pressure, and still do things properly. All you need is the ability to read English, have full clean Irish driving licence, and heat each lunch with care. I still have questions actually… No problem! We’re here to answer them. When will I work? This job is offered on a part-time basis, 5 hours a day, Monday through Friday! Typical hours of work are 08:00 to 13:00 with some flexibility required as start and finish times may be a little earlier or later. 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 approx 183 days of the year and will have the rest off to enjoy some well-deserved rest! Our staff sign on to Social Welfare as Educational Sector Workers during the summer months. What benefits do I get by joining The Lunch Bag? 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. How much is it paid? 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.

Staffing Operating under the Chief Fire Officer and Senior Officers of Waterford Fire Service, operational staffing includes: Retained Firefighters are required to do duty on a roster or on an availability scheme arrangement and be available in accordance therewith for fires and other incidents. Retained Firefighter Role The role of the firefighter is: Health and Safety Health and Safety forms a key part of the role of every firefighter. i. It shall be the duty of every firefighter while at work: (a) To take reasonable care for his/her own safety, health, and welfare and that of any other person who may be affected by his/her acts or omissions while at work. (b) To co-operate with his/her employer and any other person to such extent as will enable his/her employer or the other person to comply with any of the relevant statutory provisions. (c) To use in such manner so as to provide the protection intended, any suitable appliance, protective clothing, convenience, equipment, or other means or thing provided (whether for his/her use alone or for use by him/her in common with others) for securing his/her safety, health, or welfare while at work. (d) To report to his/her employer or his/her immediate superior, without unreasonable delay, any defects in plant, equipment, place of work, or system of work which might endanger safety, health, or welfare, of which he/she becomes aware. ii. No person shall intentionally or recklessly interfere with or misuse any appliance, protective clothing, convenience, equipment, item, or other means provided in pursuance of any of the relevant statutory provisions or otherwise, for securing the safety, health, or welfare of persons arising out of work activities. Garda Clearance The Service is in a position of trust with the public and has a duty to protect them. If you have a record of an offence, this will not necessarily disqualify you as all applications are considered strictly on their merit. However, you are required to declare any offence for which you have been convicted. You are advised to declare any charges that are pending; a subsequent conviction could lead to you being discharged from the Service. If you fail to disclose information when required to do so, this will render your application void, and if you have been employed, may result in termination of employment. A Garda clearance check will be carried out prior to your appointment to the Service. Should you be charged with an offence between the date of the application or appointment, you must notify the Service in writing, as this may affect your employment in the Service. Training Retained Firefighters are required to attend and pass a three-week initial training course.

On completion of the initial training, the recruit firefighter is required to undertake a recruit induction and development program over a specified period of time designed to equip them with the necessary skills in performing the duties assigned to them by the Chief Fire Officer.
