We're looking for a caring, reliable and motivated person to join our close-knit team as a Funeral Assistant.

n

This is an opportunity to join the funeral industry in a supportive team where you'll receive hands‐on training and learn all aspects of caring for the deceased and supporting families through the funeral process.

You don't need extensive funeral industry experience — we're looking for someone with the right attitude, a strong work ethic and a genuine willingness to learn. Experience in funerals, healthcare, aged care, hospitality or another people‐focused environment would be an advantage.

n

No two days are the same, and this role will give you the opportunity to develop your skills and progress within the industry over time.

n

This role is part of our on‐call transfer roster, so you'll need to be available outside standard hours to assist with bringing the deceased into our care.

n
- Assist our senior team with the day-to-day running of the funeral home
n
- Assist with bringing deceased people into our care from hospitals, nursing homes, private residences and other locations

- Care for and prepare the deceased with dignity, respect and attention to detail

- Assist with preparing coffins, name plates and viewing rooms
n
- Assist with funeral services, including bearing coffins and driving funeral vehicles
n
- Help maintain our facilities, equipment and vehicles to a high standard

- Assist with funeral transfers, logistics and general funeral home duties
n




- Support the wider team to ensure every funeral runs smoothly and professionally
n
- Learn and follow our procedures, systems and standards
n

n

What you'll bring

n

n
- A genuine desire to work in the funeral industry and help people at an important time in their lives
n
- A calm, respectful and professional manner
n
- Reliability and a strong work ethic
n
- Good attention to detail

n
- The ability to perform the physical requirements of the role, including manual lifting
n
- Basic computer skills and confidence learning new systems
n
- A current driver's licence
n

n

Funeral industry experience is preferred but not essential. Full training and ongoing support will be provided to the right person.

n

What's in it for you?

n

n
- Full training and ongoing professional development
n
- The opportunity to build a career in the funeral industry
n
- A supportive and close-knit team environment
n
- Uniforms and dry cleaning supplied
n
- Paid overtime for additional hours
n
- Flexible rostering
n
