Gillions Funeral Services is Dunedin city's locally, and family owned and operated full-service funeral home. We provide a wide range of funeral services to our community. They are personalised, meaningful and based around our client families' wishes. We are expanding our team and looking to recruit an experienced, and preferably qualified, funeral director to join us. What we're looking for We are looking for someone who is experienced, very well organised and with great problem-solving ability. You will be calm under pressure and a great team player. You will have a sensitive and empathetic approach to working with people during difficult times, an eye for detail, and the ability to manage multiple demands. You also need to be computer literate and comfortable operating AV equipment and other technology required for the modern funeral. You will be a great communicator – both verbally and in written communication. You will need to be physically well co-ordinated and capable of performing the tasks required – lifting the deceased onto stretchers and into caskets, manoeuvring in complex spaces on occasion, standing for considerable periods, and directing and assisting pallbearers at funerals and graveside. You will be required to be on the duty roster which means some weekend, public holiday and on-call work as well. Although our core office business hours are Monday – Friday, 8.30am – 5.00pm, and Saturday 9.00am - 1.00pm there will be times when you will need to work extended hours at short notice so flexibility must be manageable for you. Our local community and business relationships are important to us so it would be an advantage to have local connections. Applicants for this position should have a full clean New Zealand Drivers Licence and New Zealand residency or a valid NZ work visa.
