Are you looking for a role where you can make a genuine difference in your community? The Co-op is seeking compassionate and dedicated individuals to join their Funeral Service Crew in Peterborough. This opportunity offers a stable, full-time position with a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, all while supporting families through difficult times.

Key Advantages for Candidates:

  • Meaningful Work: This role is centered around providing dignified and compassionate support to families at a crucial time in their lives. You'll be an integral part of helping them say the perfect goodbye.
  • No Experience Necessary: The Co-op prioritizes a supportive and growth-oriented environment. They provide full training, so even without prior funeral service experience, you can embark on this rewarding career path.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Beyond the £24,940 annual salary, you'll enjoy a range of valuable benefits, including:
    • Significant discounts on Co-op branded products (30%) and other brands (10%) in food stores.
    • Discounts on other Co-op products and services.
    • Generous holiday allowance (23 days pro rata, increasing with service).
    • An excellent pension scheme with up to 10% employer contributions.
    • Access to an Employee Assistance Programme for confidential 24/7 support.
    • Health benefits like virtual GP access and free eye tests.
    • Opportunities for career development and apprenticeships.
    • Access to Wagestream, allowing you to access a portion of your earned pay as needed.
  • Supportive Environment: You'll be joining a friendly and supportive team within a company that values its community and has a strong social purpose.
  • Accessibility of Application: The application process is designed to be simple and accessible, allowing you to apply on your mobile device without the need for a CV.

Key Considerations for Candidates:

  • Shift Work and On-Call Rotation: The role involves working a variety of shifts between Monday and Friday, 8 am to 8 pm. A key component of this position is participating in an on-call rota, which requires flexibility.
  • Driving Requirement: A full, manual UK driving licence is an essential requirement for this role, as you will be driving funeral vehicles.
  • Physical Demands: The role involves manual lifting and requires the ability to perform physical aspects of the job with care and precision.
  • Emotional Sensitivity: This position demands a high level of empathy, compassion, and the ability to remain calm and professional in emotionally charged situations. A sensitive approach to customer service and excellent attention to detail are crucial.
  • Pre-Employment Screening: Successful candidates will undergo pre-employment checks, including DBS, adverse media, and occupational health assessments. Social media activity will also be reviewed.

This role at the Co-op presents a unique opportunity to enter a fulfilling career where you contribute directly to the well-being of your community. If you possess a compassionate nature, a commitment to service, and a desire to be part of something meaningful, this position could be an excellent step in your career journey.
