Funeral Event Coordinator

2 days ago


Nottingham UK, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom In Memory Of Life Full time

In Memory Of Life is an innovative, fast-growing and newly set-up business using digital solutions to transform how families are able to plan and organise a funeral or celebration of life. For too long the industry has been dominated by expensive and traditional funeral directors that have not changed the way they work or look for generations. We successfully challenge the traditional model by bringing together a wide range of services into a single easy-to-use platform, supporting families to access the right services, in their own time and at a reasonable price.


About The Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and compassionate event coordinator to join us on our mission in transforming the funeral industry. This is a unique opportunity to really make a difference for people and how they are able to say farewell in a truly meaningful way. You will be responsible for coordinating every aspect of the funeral, from the venue, to the celebrant, the flowers, the vehicles and everything that goes into allowing the family to create the farewell they are looking for.


Responsibilities

  • Support families throughout the arrangement process to help them create a truly personalised farewell
  • Communication with families via phone, email and/or video zoom calls
  • Meticulous planning and coordination of every detail of the event
  • Provide advice and help families to think creatively with decisions such as the type of funeral, the venue, vehicles, coffin personalisation, flowers, doves, music and anything else requested
  • Liaise with our range of suppliers and partners to ensure the highest quality of every service requested by the family


Who We Are Looking For

As shown by our review feedback (currently 4.97 average across over 600 reviews), we put our families first in absolutely everything we do and we are looking for compassionate individuals who share this ethos together with:

  • Higher Educational Background
  • Strong emotional intelligence and compassionate manner
  • High levels of organisation and time prioritisation skills
  • Ability to learn and adapt quickly with good problem-solving skills
  • Confident phone manner
  • Excellent and well structured written communication
  • Flexible and keen to undertake varied responsibilities
  • Essential 1 year experience in the events industry


Benefits

  • Discretionary winter business performance bonus
  • Quarterly individual performance bonus scheme
  • 25 days annual leave plus additional days for continued service, plus public holidays
  • Your Birthday off (or closest working day)
  • Flexible working arrangements with a mix of home & office working
  • Wellbeing support including office relaxation days
  • Opportunities for progression as the business grows


Interviews

We plan to have interviews on Tuesday 10th December 2024. Please speak to us if you can't make this date and you are selected for the next stage.
