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.
Retained Firefighter
QUALIFICATIONS Character Each candidate must be of good character and the successful applicant may be subject to Garda Vetting prior to any appointment being confirmed. Age Each candidate must be at least 18 years of age on 1st January, 2026. Retirement age for Retained Fire-fighters is 55 years of age (up to 62 years of age subject to conditions). Health Each candidate must be free from any defects which would render that person unsuitable to perform the duties of the post and be in a state of health such as would indicate a reasonable prospect of ability to render regular and efficient service. For the purpose of satisfying this requirement, it will be necessary to undergo at the candidate’s own expense an initial medical examination, by a qualified medical practitioner to be nominated by Cork County Council. Note the requirement to complete and pass the Chester Step Test detailed below. On taking up appointment, the expense of the medical examination will be refunded to the candidate. Retained Fire-fighters will be required to undergo regular and ad-hoc medical examinations at any time. Given the strenuous nature of fire-fighting duties, the medical examination will be of a very thorough nature. Please note that the following disabilities will render an applicant unsuitable for fire-fighting duties and will lead to disqualification at the examination. History of epilepsy Alcohol or drug dependency Obesity Chronic bronchitis or asthma or other disabling disease of the lungs Organic disease of the cardiovascular system Diabetes mellitus Unaided vision less than 6/12 in either eye Inability to hear a forced whisper or conversational voice separately in either ear at 20 feet Evidence of labyrinthine disturbance A history of vertigo or an illness which would affect sense of balance History of mental instability Please note that it is recommended that Retained Fire-fighters be vaccinated against the Hepatitis B Virus and in this connection the vaccine will be made available free of charge to successful candidates. Fitness Test Part of the pre-employment medical examination includes completing the fitness test. Candidates successful at interview must successfully complete the fitness test prior to employment being offered. The fitness test at the recruit medical is the Chester Step Test. The Chester Step Test measures aerobic capacity and fitness and entails a moderately vigorous level of physical activity. The level of fitness needed to pass this test requires regular exercise and the test pass level is difficult to achieve if the candidate does not already have a good level of physical fitness prior to the test. Medical examiners’ advice is that fitness needed for this test does not come overnight; realistically it takes at least a few weeks and often longer to appreciably improve your fitness level. Candidates who fail the initial Chester Step Test will be offered one further fitness test only. This may be a Chester Step Test or a Shuttle Run test, as determined by Cork County Council. No further retests will be offered. Residence / Availability Only applicants from competent persons who reside and work within 2 miles of the fire station of the relevant unit and whose ordinary activity does not take them away from the town in which a brigade is located will be considered. On receipt of a fire or other emergency call, you should be in attendance at the station within five minutes. Unemployed persons are not precluded from applying, provided that they satisfy the residence and availability requirements. Licence Each applicant must hold a full current Category “B” European Community Model Driving Licence free from endorsement. Garda Vetting Candidates successful at interview will be required to undergo Garda Vetting, which will be directly arranged by Cork County Council. PARTICULARS OF EMPLOYMENT The employment is part-time. Panels may be used to fill permanent and temporary vacancies. New entrant retained fire-fighters who commence on or after 1 January 2013 will be members of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme (SPSPS), as established by the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and other Provisions) Act 2012. The Single Scheme does not provide for a Retained Fire-fighters Gratuity. New entrants will pay superannuation contributions each quarter, with SPSPS pension lump sum and pension payable on retirement, subject to certain conditions. Retained Fire-fighters must retire (on their birthday) upon reaching the age-limit for the employment (currently 55 years of age and up to 62 subject to conditions). A successful candidate will only be offered employment on a probationary basis as a Retained Fire-fighter subject to satisfactory completion of the following courses: (a) Firefighting Skills Course This course is a full-time, three-week course, which will be held in Ireland and will involve staying away from home on a Monday to Friday basis for the three weeks. (b) Breathing Apparatus Course This course is of a full-time nature, of two weeks duration, and is held outside the county. (c) Compartment Fire Behaviour Training Course This course is of one week duration, normally held outside of the county. (d) Occupational First Aid Course This course is of a full-time nature, normally three days duration, and is held within the county. (e) Class C HGV driving licence. N.B. The above does not preclude the Council from offering temporary employment but failure to complete either of the above courses satisfactorily will result in termination of employment. Subject to compliance with the conditions of item 4 (immediately preceding), the employment is subject to a probationary period of one year and will be terminable by the giving of one weeks notice by either side during that period. After the employment has been confirmed, it will be terminable at any stage on the giving of the required notice by either side under the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Act, 1973, or without notice in circumstances justifying immediate dismissal. Please note that due to the requirement for fire-fighters to wear Breathing Apparatus, all facial growth below the line of the upper lip must be removed, that is, beards, etc. Retained Fire-fighters must be prepared to attend other courses which may be held in Ireland or the United Kingdom. Availability Based on an annual 52 weeks, excluding 4 weeks annual leave, Retained Fire-fighters will be required to be available and attend alerts 24 weeks in the year on a week on / week off basis. Across the 24 weeks where a Retained Fire-fighter is rostered off, they can, if they so wish, attend incidents. In the event of occasional unavoidable absence of one rostered member for part of his / her week, it is the responsibility of the rostered member to arrange cover for the period of his / her absence with an available (off duty) member. This agreement has to be notified to and agreed by the Station Officer or Sub-Station Officer in advance. This is to guarantee that the Station Officer is in a position to ensure that the minimum manning levels for each station are met before any cover arrangement can be approved. Retained Fire-fighters must normally reside and work in the town where the brigade is located and in such proximity to the fire station which will allow him / her to respond within the turnout time set by the Chief Fire Officer (current requirement is a target timeframe of five minutes for the first appliance to leave the station). It is necessary that he / she be released from his / her normal employment on the occasions that attendance at incidents demands such release. Changes of residence or workplace must be notified in writing to the Chief Fire Officer. Failure to do so may result in termination of employment as a fire-fighter. Any change of residence or place of work that puts the fire-fighter at a distance or turnout time more than that permitted by the Chief Fire Officer from the fire station, or to a location unacceptable to the Chief Fire Officer, will result in termination of employment as a fire-fighter. The Council may, at its discretion, prior to employing any qualified candidate, seek appropriate evidence as to the availability of such person to fulfil the duties of this position. Annual Leave Four weeks annual leave per annum in addition to the annual payment of the retainer. Furthermore, payment for annual leave is confirmed as being 8 percent of earnings. These earnings will be calculated on the basis of the previous year’s earnings excluding the retainer, clothing allowance, and payment for annual leave and public holiday leave in the previous year. The payment for annual leave will be made when employees take annual leave as part of the fortnightly pay cycle. Members of brigades shall be subject to such rules and regulations as may be issued from time to time. It should be particularly noted that Retained Fire-fighters must, in the matter of drills, attendance at fires or in other emergencies, comply strictly with the orders and discretion of the Station Officer, or in his absence, such other brigade member as may be in charge. Any Retained Fire-fighter guilty of infringement of this regulation will be dismissed. Generally, members of all brigades will be under the general control and supervision of the Chief Fire Officer, Senior Assistant Chief Fire Officer, Senior Executive Fire Officer, Assistant Chief Fire Officer, Assistant Fire Officer, or other appropriate officer as the case may be. While on duty, Retained Fire-fighters shall use the clothing and personal equipment provided by the Council and same shall be left in the station immediately after the cessation of duty. Retained Fire-fighters may not use such clothing and equipment save while on duty. Retained Fire-fighters must comply fully with safety policy and directives in force from time to time. Rostering of Retained Fire-fighters will take place at the Council’s discretion. Rate of Pay €16,190 – €19,555 per year Attendance at Incidents An annual review will be undertaken in December each year to identify stations with low incident mobilisation. Where such levels fall below 75 hours in a calendar year, an adjustment payment will be made to each fire-fighter to provide for a minimum annual payment of 75 hours. This payment will be calculated on a pro rata basis for any new entrants in a calendar year. Attendance at Drills Drills take place on-station three times a month at regular intervals (36 drills annually) and are of two and a half hours duration. There is an obligation on fire-fighters to attend 85 percent of drills annually. The retaining fee will not normally be paid to any member who has failed to attend at least 85 percent of drills during the quarter, the decision on which, if appropriate, is at the discretion of the Chief Fire Officer. N.B. The Council reserves the right to alter the frequency and duration of drills at its discretion.
