Job Overview

AJ Wakely & Sons is a long-established, family-owned funeral business serving communities across East Devon. We operate two well-respected funeral offices Northcott Brothers in Sidmouth and JF Clarke & Son in Axminster and we are looking for a compassionate, dedicated individual to join our team as a Trainee Funeral Director.

No previous experience in funeral care is required. We will provide full, structured training. What we cannot teach is the character this role demands and that is what we are looking for.

About the role

Based across our Sidmouth and Axminster offices, you will work alongside our experienced Funeral Directors to learn every aspect of the profession. Your responsibilities will include:

Supporting bereaved families through the arrangement process with empathy and professionalism
Assisting in the care and preparation of the deceased with dignity and respect
Attending and conducting funeral services
Completing legal and administrative documentation accurately
Carrying out transfers of the deceased
Maintaining our vehicles, premises, and equipment to the highest standard

What we are looking for

We hire for character first. The right candidate will have:

Genuine compassion and empathy for people in grief
The composure to remain calm and professional in emotionally demanding situations
A meticulous eye for detail, every family deserves perfection
Strong communication skills and a warm, respectful manner
Absolute discretion and personal integrity
The resilience to work in a role that is both challenging and deeply rewarding

Essential requirements

Full, clean UK driving licence
Physically able to assist with manual handling
Flexibility to work on a rota including evenings and weekends
Smart, professional appearance at all times
Willingness to travel between our Sidmouth and Axminster offices

What we offer

Full training and mentorship from our team of experienced Funeral Directors
Support towards professional qualifications with the British Institute of Embalmers or NAFD
A genuine career path within a respected, established family business
Competitive salary (details provided on application)
A close-knit, supportive team environment

How to apply

Please apply through Indeed with your CV and a short covering statement explaining why this role appeals to you and what qualities you would bring to the families in our care. We are more interested in who you are than where you have been. A heartfelt, thoughtful statement will stand out far more than a lengthy work history.

Pay: £25,000.00-£28,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Company events
Company pension
Free parking
On-site parking

Work Location: In person
