Summary

Due to expansion an exciting opportunity has arisen to join our busy bereavement services team at Bramcote Crematorium.

We’re looking for a professional to join our team and develop these services to meet the current and future needs of our customers, the families we serve, and the organisation.

You are to support all aspects of the administration duties and all associated aspects relating to funerals, in accordance with the Cremation and Cemeteries Act and the Guiding Principles of the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management. No two days are the same. Duties will include answering telephone enquiries from bereaved families and associated external stake holders. All administration and office duties, checking records and data entry, financial reconciliation, supporting all aspects of mortuary duties and cremating. You will also have the opportunity to assist bereaved persons and provide excellent customer service.

You must be computer literate, and able to work under your own initiative as part of a team assisting professional officers. Speed and accuracy in your work is central to the success of the team’s work. Experience in a customer-focused environment is desirable.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about the bereavement sector to make a real difference and work in a Gold Award Crematorium and Cemetery service.

Opened in 1979, Bramcote Crematorium has 2 service chapels, a team of 14 employees and conducts around 2400 cremations per annum. It is one of the busiest in the UK. The cemetery records and bookings for Broxtowe & Erewash Borough Councils are also managed from the administration office.

Working 37 hours a week Monday to Thursday, within Bramcote Crematorium, you will be required to help in different roles within Bramcote Bereavement Services. There may be a requirement to work at other times if service demands so require.

The role is primarily based at Bramcote Crematorium, although you will be expected to attend community meetings when needed.
