Student Job Opportunites As Supermacs To Create 400 New Jobs
If you're a student and you're on the look out for a bit of part time work then look no further as Supermacs plan to create 400 new jobs as they seek to open six new outlets in 2018.
The company is on a major recruitment drive for management staff in particular at the moment. Speaking at the Supermac’s National Awards in Loughrea last night Supermac’s MD Pat McDonagh announced that the group would be undertaking a major recruitment campaign.
We will be engaging in a major recruitment drive to get staff for these new openings. We have career opportunities at all levels. We are looking for staff in the area of managers, store managers, assistant managers and catering assistants. We put structured career paths in place for staff that leads to store manager positions as well as site managers and area managers. Some of the stores that are scheduled to open will be franchised operations and we are looking for people that want a career. People that will stay with us and develop with us. A lot of our franchisees are people that started working for us initially,” Mr McDonagh said. “We have an extensive careers page with testimonials from company and franchise staff and managers at www.supermacs.ie/careers.
McDonagh went on to talk about Supermac's relationship with students and how they use the business to fund their third level education:
Mr McDonagh said that there was a new generation entering the workforce and the challenge was to adapt to their requirements. “A new generation is beginning to enter the workforce, generally defined as those born since 1997. They have absolutely no memory of the 20th century. We need to get ready for them and speak to them in a different way. Many of our younger staff have used Supermac’s to pay for their college education. A lot of doctors, nurses, dentists and teachers spent many years working with us throughout the country to help put themselves through college. These young people want sustainable jobs that utilize their talents and gives them the freedom to continue with their studies.
Where the new stores will open up has yet to be revealed but it's clear that the addition of 400 new jobs could prove a very useful development for students in Ireland looking to fund their education.
