Cemetery Operative

**Full Time, Fixed Term until 30th April 2024.**

We are looking to recruit for a Cemetery Operative.

We have eight cemeteries across Bristol, where we provide a range of cemeteries services.

You will work within a well-established team, who are both skilled and experienced in burials and grounds maintenance.

You will deliver a high-quality burial and prepare graves as directed and within legislative & Health & Safety guidelines as well as grounds maintenance at the direction of the Cemetery Supervisor.

The post is primarily as a cemetery operative but with the added responsibility of being trained and accredited to work in the crematoria and chapel at both South Bristol and Canford as the need arises.

Previous experience of working in Cemeteries and undertaking burials is not required. However, you must enjoy working outdoors and be prepared to work in all weather conditions and have a genuine ability to work within a very sensitive environment, learning about the delivery of an internment service, general maintenance of cemeteries and supporting members of the public.

**Why Bristol City Council?**

At Bristol City Council, we go that extra mile for our people; we offer a work environment which is fast moving and supportive, giving you the chance to use your skills and develop new ones within a high-profile organisation.

Join us and you’ll receive an excellent rewards membership of the Local Government Pension scheme, and a generous annual leave allowance. In addition, you’ll be working in a supportive environment where you’ll have the chance to make Bristol a better place and contribute to its future.
