The Role:
Join our respected, family-owned funeral business as a Funeral Arranger and Conductor, supporting families with compassion and professionalism during some of their most difficult moments.
The business covers the whole of Swindon, and all surrounding areas. The Funeral business is a 24-hour operation, so there will be occasions where team members are on call.
In this sensitive and rewarding role, you will be a warm and reassuring point of contact for bereaved families, guiding them through funeral arrangements with care and consideration, whilst consistently displaying the highest level of attention to detail. You'll coordinate key details, manage essential documentation, liaise with service providers, have a key role within funeral administration and ensure everything runs smoothly.
Key Responsibilities:
* Consult with families to understand their preferences and develop funeral arrangements that meet their needs and budget
* Coordinate all aspects of the funeral service, including organising a funeral venue, arranging transportation, and coordinating with key third party providers
* Prepare and file all necessary funeral documentation
* Manage and maintain databases and files
* Provide support and guidance to families during the funeral planning process and during the actual funeral service
* Stay current with industry trends and regulations to ensure compliance and best practices
We're looking for someone who works effectively in a team, who is empathetic, organised, calm under pressure, and committed to exceptional service. Strong administration and communication skills are essential, and full training will be provided. The role does require some manual lifting, which is done in small teams and only after receiving the required training.

What We Offer:
