The Harbour City Funeral Home group is seeking an empathetic, compassionate, self-motivated, and physically capable individual to join our successful, ever-growing group of funeral homes across the Wellington, Hutt Valley, and Kapiti regions.
This is a primarily Wellington-based role; however, flexibility to work across the greater Wellington region is required.
Industry experience and qualifications are preferred but not essential.
Opportunities like this are rare, so if you're looking for a change in career to one that can offer job satisfaction and fulfillment most others can't, then please get in touch.
It's important to understand this is not a pastoral role and that much of what a Funeral Director does goes unseen.
This is a unique form of time-limited event management, and we can be required to work unsociable hours when rostered on-call, so flexibility is a must!
Main responsibilities include: Meeting with bereaved families and providing empathetic support and advice whilst arranging and directing all aspects of the funeral requirements, with the client families and other stakeholders.
Carrying out transfers and having involvement in dressing and presenting the deceased for viewing.
Compiling and completing all required legal documentation.
Working on a 1 in 4 call week roster including night and weekend work.
The successful applicant will need to display: Strong interpersonal skills and confidence dealing with a wide variety of people.
Motivation and drive to provide excellence in service and keeping the company's reputation in the community.
An ability to work autonomously and within a large team, which requires attention to detail and excellent time management and organizational skills.
Effective communication; both verbal and written, and be computer literate and technically capable.
A NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa and a full clean NZ drivers' licence is a must.
Applications will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Your application will include the following questions: Do you have experience in administration?
Which of the following statements best describes your right to work in New Zealand?
How many years' experience do you have as a Funeral Director?
Do you have a current New Zealand driver's licence?
What's your expected annual base salary?
Do you own or have regular access to a car?
Are you available to work public holidays?
