Here’s an attractive sounding job spec for someone considering a career as a funeral director:
It’s providing the service that leaves a lasting impression.
It’s being encouraged to gain new skills. And it’s delivering extraordinary service…
Joining our talented team, you’ll provide a … service to an exceptional standard, both front-of-house and behind-the-scenes.
You’ll prepare for and support functions of all scales.
Preparations back-of-house will be a big part of your role.
And front-of-house, you’ll welcome and take care of guests…
You’ll be proud to play your part … as well as supporting some truly spectacular events.
In an environment where development and training is commonplace, you’ll be supported to achieve an accredited … qualification too.
You’ll … challenge yourself to deliver to the highest standard every day.
Previous … experience is not essential, but you will need to be committed to developing a career in the industry.
It’ll be hard work and there will be a lot to learn, but you’ll be supported every step of the way. You’ll therefore need a proactive approach, a desire to learn and eagerness to tackle new challenges.
You’ll have outstanding team working and time management skills, and you’ll understand the need for these in delivering an overall smooth and efficient service.
Polite, friendly and approachable to all, you can naturally adapt your communication style to suit different situations.
With an eye for detail, you aim for and achieve the highest standards in all that you do.
Thinking of applying? One small snag. This is a job description for a trainee butler at Buckingham Palace. We have always felt, here at the GFG, that there’s a close affinity between undertaking and domestic service.
Spooky! Someone close to me left us, to join them! It’s going rather well I think.
For obvious reasons, I can’t be too specific, but the, ahem, employer was impressed by the things the person had been doing as part of our work and thought many of the acquired skills would transfer well..
