School Meal Cover
A little bit about us Looking for a job that actually makes a difference - and gives you something new every day? 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 kids 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 Meals Cover Staff - reliable, adaptable people who can jump into action at short notice and keep things running like clockwork. This isn’t your typical 9 - 5. You’ll be our on-the-ground hero, stepping into different schools as needed (when our staff in the schools are absent), bringing the smiles, and making sure no child goes hungry. If you’re looking for routine and predictability, this might not be for you. But if you like variety, enjoy being out and about, this could be your perfect fit - keeping you on your toes and feeling young! Just like our regular school meals workers, you will be the smiley face representing us in the school. All meals are prepared in our headquarters in Nenagh, Tipperary, and then delivered to the schools. It’s from there that you’ll take over. Your duties will consist of heating the meals in the oven and then distributing them to classrooms. If there’s no need for staff cover on a given day, you’ll head out to schools to carry out simple (but effective) audits. Our goal is always to provide the best possible service to children - and that includes staying on top of hygiene standards and following all HACCP and EHO guidelines. If you’re a detail addict and thought this was a little vague, here’s a list for you: 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 €580 per week , and we’ll also cover your expenses for using your own car
