No experience needed.

We’re looking for an empathetic and commercially minded person to join the Co-op Funeralcare team.

You don’t need industry experience. If you have great people skills, and a real commercial focus, you could be perfect for this role.

● support funerals – conducting the ceremony, leading the team and carrying the deceased when necessary
● make sure all regulated work, including funeral planning appointments, is referred to a ‘certified colleague’
● build and maintain relationships with the team, clients and the community

This role would suit people who have

● a commercial mind-set and experience in a managerial role
● a true customer focus and a real passion for delivering a great service
● the ability to capture intricate detail and make sure it is reflected in the service we deliver
● compassion, understanding and empathy, and the ability to keep a cool head under pressure
● a UK manual driving licence

Why Co-op?

You’ll get a fantastic benefits package including:

● 30% off Co-op branded products in our food stores all year-round
● 10% off other brands in our food stores all year-round (doubles to 20% on the Friday and Saturday after payday)
● discounts on other Co-op products and services
● 23 days holidays (pro rata, rising with service)
● a pension with up to 10% employer contributions
● access to our Employee Assistance Programme which offers confidential advice and support on anything you’re struggling with, 24 hours a day
● access to virtual GP and free eye tests
● endless career development opportunities including apprenticeships
● friendly, supportive team and the knowledge that you make a huge difference to your community
● access to Wagestream - a money management 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

At Co-op, we’re proud to do things a different way. As one of the world’s largest co-operatives, owned by millions of members, community is at the heart of what we do. Since our Co-op was founded in 1844, we’ve had a clear social purpose, and everything we do as a business helps to build a fairer world for our members, customers, colleagues, and communities
