We're looking for a Funeral Arranger to join the Co-op Funeralcare team and help families say the perfect goodbye to their loved ones.

You can apply for this job on your mobile in a few simple steps - no CV required.
As a 'non certified' Funeral Arranger, you'll support clients by organising family visits and answering questions. You'll make sure all regulated work, like selling and advising on our funeral plans, is referred to a 'certified' colleague.
In this Funeral Arranger role, you can expect to:
- Build positive relationships in the local community
- Hold the fort at the funeral home (there'll be times when you'll be the only one in the branch)
- Help with the manual handling of coffins and the deceased
To apply for this role you'll need to have a passion for delivering great service and building relationships. You'll also need:
- Excellent communication and admin skills, plus good attention to detail
- High levels of empathy, discretion and care
In return for your compassion and dedication, you'll get a generous benefits package that includes 30% off Co-op branded products in our food stores, 23 days holiday (pro rata, rising with service) and a pension with up to 10% employer contributions. You'll also get:
- Employee Assistance Programme offering confidential advice and support 24/7, plus access to a virtual GP and free eye tests
- Wagestream - an app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it
- YuLife - an app that rewards your for exercising with discounts and vouchers for all kinds of brands
