Full job description

We are currently expanding our team and recruiting for a number of positions across Essex and Woodford.

The Heartfelt Funeral Company is an independent, family-run funeral director providing compassionate and professional funeral services. We are looking for people who share our commitment to exceptional standards of care, dignity and service to families.

We welcome applications from experienced funeral professionals as well as candidates with transferable skills for appropriate roles.

Location: Essex
Salary: £32,000–£42,000 per annum, depending on experience
Position: Full-time

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced, compassionate and highly professional Funeral Director to join our growing team in Essex.

The successful candidate will take responsibility for funeral arrangements from the initial meeting with a family through to the successful delivery and conducting of the funeral.

This position requires someone who can combine exceptional care for bereaved families with strong organisational and operational skills.

Key Responsibilities

Meeting bereaved families and making complete funeral arrangements.

About You

We are particularly interested in candidates with previous funeral directing or substantial funeral-arranging experience.

You should be confident managing your own caseload, arranging funerals independently and conducting funeral services.

You will need excellent communication skills, attention to detail and the ability to remain calm and professional in emotionally sensitive and time-critical situations.

A full UK driving licence is essential.
