On a day to day basis my job is to help families who have lost a love one to arrange their funeral. From helping with paperwork to being their as support. I work with a range of people from Council workers, Doctors, Cremation staff, cemetery staff, Ministers and our teams within our company. Helping families to give their loved one the perfect goodbye.
I have learnt lots of new skills doing this job. From how to work with so many different organisations to dealing with a grieving family. How to arrange all aspects of funerals and how to fill out all the legal paperwork.
I have loved doing the programme. It has helped me to fully understand the way funeral care works and how to use my knowledge to the best.
Very well organised. Even with a pandemic going on. It was structured so you learnt the right things at the right time of your journey.
I received a lot of help. From all different departments. If i needed to find out about anything i could ring someone or email them and they would be more than happy to help me in anyway they could.
A lot! They really help you every step of the way. They encourage you and help you in anyway they can.
it has really helped me feel like I am now a funeral arranger. If I ever don't remember anything i can look back on my notes and I know I will be able to find what I need to know. I feel like I know so much more about the funeral industry now. I had never worked in this industry before and know I feel confident carrying out my job.
We do a lot on community work. It is easy to get involved in that. You will also be fully supported if you wish to do something for your community.
Yes
They are a really good company to work for. They help you as much as they can. They do amazing work with communities and support their staff.
I would say be yourself. Everyone at the Co-op is different and that is what makes it an amazing company to work for. Take your time in the interview process, think about your answers.
