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 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 Workers – reliable, cheerful folks who take pride in doing things right and bring a bit of warmth to every school day.

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 role will involve heating the meals in the oven and distributing them to nearby schools. Since not all schools have the facilities to heat meals on-site, we’ve set up a number of hot drop locations—and great news, a new one is opening in Athenry!

Your responsibilities will include heating the lunches for schools in the area and delivering them to the designated locations.

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 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.

This job requires you to have a valid, full driving license.

I still have questions actually…

No problem! We’re here to answer them.

This job is offered on a part-time basis, 5 hours a day, Monday through Friday!

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!

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.

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.
