Companion Cremations Bundaberg

Companion Cremations Bundaberg is seeking a compassionate, reliable, and hands-on casual team member to join our small, dedicated team.

This is meaningful and rewarding work, helping families say goodbye to their beloved pets with care and dignity.

PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

Companion Cremations Bundaberg operates a genuine 24 hours a day, 7 days a week service.

While this casual position averages approximately 23.5 hours per week, it also includes participation in our after-hours and on-call roster.

After-hours means evenings, overnight call-outs, weekends and public holidays when rostered. We provide a service to veterinary clinics and grieving families at any time of the day or night, so applicants must be genuinely comfortable and available to respond outside normal business hours.

If overnight work or being on-call is not something you can commit to, this role is unlikely to be the right fit.

About Us

At Companion Cremations Bundaberg, we understand that pets are family. Our mission is to provide compassionate, respectful and skilled aftercare, helping families say goodbye to their beloved companions with dignity.

We are a small, dedicated team that takes great pride in providing exceptional care, not only to every pet entrusted to us but also to the families and veterinary clinics we support.

About the Role

We are looking for a compassionate, reliable and hands-on Casual Pet Cremation Assistant to join our team.

This is a varied role where no two days are the same. You'll work independently as well as alongside our close-knit team, helping ensure every pet is treated with the utmost care and respect.

Your duties may include

- Collecting pets from veterinary clinics and private residences with compassion and professionalism.

- Assisting with the cremation process.

- Creating personalised keepsakes, including resin pieces using fur or ashes.

Participation in our rotating after-hours and on-call roster is required. The roster is shared between three team members, with each person on call approximately once every three weeks/weekends.

- Perform meaningful work that genuinely helps families during a difficult time.
