5 months ago


Halifax, United Kingdom Dignity Full time

There's more to funerals than you think...

At Dignity, we are committed to providing people with the highest standards of services and care, helping our clients every step of the way when they need us most.

Great service comes from great people who are all aligned with our purpose and vision, to be the UK's Leading Provider of End-of-Life Care. We work in teams, and just like a family, we care for and protect our people and those that we look after. We embrace our diversity, celebrate our differences, and help each other grow.

**We are a company that champions flexibility too**

We understand that not everyone can work a usual 9-5 and that they want the ability to work when they want which is precisely why we offer flexible casual-based roles that are 0-hour contracts, to provide you with that all-important work-life balance.

**Interested in becoming part of our family...?**

We currently have an opportunity for Casual Funeral Service Operative’s to join our Business Leader Rebekah Williams and her dedicated team of funeral professionals at Lawrence Funeral Directors, serving our communities across Halifax and West Yorkshire.

**What will you be doing?**

As a Casual Funeral Service Operative, you will be at the very heart and focal point of our business, persistently delivering consistently high levels of client services to the deceased and their families. Hours are flexible; our Casuals at this branch may typically work 20 hrs per week, although this can fluctuate depending on business/branch needs and therefore isn't guaranteed.

Usual branch operating hours are between Monday - Friday (09:00 - 17:00) and some of our posts will require you to assist our on-call rota at night and on the weekend, though this will be fully discussed with you throughout the recruitment process.

Other duties will include:

- Preparing and ensuring the cleanliness of vehicles.
- Aid with bringing the deceased into our care.
- Being part of the funeral service by bearing the coffin and driving company vehicles.
- Driving company vehicles on the day of funerals including hearses and limousines.
- Assisting the Funeral Director with pre-funeral checks including route planning and address checking.

**What Do I Need?**
- A full UK driving licence (Manual) - driving is an essential part of the role.
- Good level of physical fitness, as this role will involve heavy lifting duties.
- The necessary documentation for a basic DBS, reference & driving licence check.
- Pride in your appearance, ensuring you are always professional.
- A caring and empathetic nature.
- The determination to deliver excellent client services.
- Any previous experience within the industry is advantageous.

**What do you get?**
- Hourly Rate of £12.04ph + on-call payments as and when completed.
- 28 Days Holiday (inclusive of bank holidays).
- Statutory sick pay.
- Opportunity of permanent vacancies across our company should you wish to take this direction internally.

**What are the next steps?**

**Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Statement**

Our Vision is to connect with our clients, colleagues, company and communities based on our principles whilst celebrating our differences.

We aim to empower leaders and colleagues to seek out and understand new voices and perspectives; to be vocal about inequity and exclusion, and take decisive, informed and bold action to promote inclusion and belonging.
