Funeralcare

Co-op Funeralcare supports customers at the most difficult time of their lives. We regularly hire funeral directors, funeral service crew and funeral arrangers. And we think that empathy and compassion are more important than experience and qualifications.

Your career in Funeralcare

The nature of these jobs means some days can be very emotional. But a career in Funeralcare is incredibly fulfilling. You’re there to support people during the most difficult times of their lives. It’s a responsibility you can be proud of.

Right now, we’re transforming our business, and changing a very traditional industry in the process. We’re using digital technology, investing in our funeral homes and developing all kinds of new products. It’s a great time to join us.

Funeral service crew

As funeral service crew you’ll spend time supporting both the funeral itself and the care of the deceased. Working as part of a close-knit team, you’ll help to ensure we provide a seamless, sensitive service to our customers. You don’t need experience to do this job, as you’ll get all the training and support you need to build a career with Co-op Funeralcare.

Funeral arranger

As a funeral arranger you’ll be the first point of contact for clients – understanding their needs and helping them to plan the funeral. We’ll look to you to be there for clients when they need our help, support or advice. You’ll need empathy and great customer service skills, but you can lean all the other skills you need to do the job through our Level 2 apprenticeship.

Funeral director

As a funeral director you’ll spend most of your time with families, supporting them through the funeral arrangement. It’ll be up to you to manage your time and build strong, trusting relationships with clients. Our Level 3 apprenticeship will help develop you as a funeral director, giving you the commercial and people skills you need to develop your team and deliver a thoughtful service which works for our customers and our business.
Training

As a Funeralcare colleague you will have the opportunity to further your development with one of our apprentice programmes – learning whilst gaining on-the-job experience. The delivery of our different programmes is blended and includes a mixture of internal 1-1 coaching, e-learning modules, development days, research and practical learning opportunities. Once completed, you will achieve a nationally recognised Apprenticeship standard.

If you're willing to commit to working and learning at the same time and have a passion for providing thoughtful customer service and an open mind when it comes to coming into contact with the deceased, the opportunities for a uniquely rewarding career are here.
