The job itself
Following the retirement of the previous post holder, a vacancy has arisen for the position of Sexton at Anlaby Cemetery.
This is a highly important role which requires a person with a sympathetic and approachable disposition, as you will be required to represent the Council at burials and to assist with visitor enquiries. You will work closely with funeral directors, with the responsibility for checking that the certificate of burial is correctly completed prior to internments taking place.
Your duties will include marking out the correct burial plots and assisting with the preparation of graves. You will also be responsible for undertaking routine grounds maintenance work within the cemetery. This includes grass mowing, strimming around memorials, and pruning the perimeter hedgerows. Additionally, you must ensure the cemetery remains tidy and well-maintained, and that visitors respect the site rules.
Ideally, we are looking for applicants who have previous experience working in a cemetery or performing similar grounds maintenance roles.
