Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The School Meals Worker is responsible for heating pre-packaged meals according to HACCP guidelines and distributing them to classrooms. They must also maintain cleaning records, manage stock levels, and ensure the school environment is prepared for lunch service.
Candidates must be able to lift 14kg boxes and navigate stairs within school buildings. The role requires the ability to read English, follow instructions, and maintain a professional, friendly demeanor when working with children.
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 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!
We’re on the hunt for School Meals Workers – reliable, cheerful folks 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 – the friendly face everyone sees, and the front-line hero 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 you’re a detail addict and thought this was a little vague, here’s a list for you:
Load pre-packaged school meals into ovens.
Turn on oven and heat meals to specific temperature according to HACCP guidelines.
Unload ovens and distribute lunches to classrooms.
Ensure adequate stock levels.
Follow and maintain work and cleaning schedule.
Maintain temperature and cleaning records.
Restock the fruit bowls in each classroom.
Distribute snacks to classrooms.
HACCP and Manual Handling Training will be provided.
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 school in Ireland has a lift (just yet)!
Working with 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.
If you’ve worked with kids or food before, great. If not, don’t let it put you off - we value people from all backgrounds and we’ll show you the ropes.
All you need is the ability to read English, follow instructions, and heat each lunch with care.
No problem! We’re here to answer them.
When will I work?
This job is offered on a part-time basis, 3 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 approx 183 days of the year and will have the rest off to enjoy some well-deserved rest!
What benefits do I get by joining The Lunch Bag?
Well, for starters - a decent rate of pay and 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.
And best of all? You get to be part of a lovely school environment, surrounded by friendly faces (and the occasional tiny comedian in a uniform).
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 €14.65 per hour.
