Job Vacancy – Funeral Director’s Assistant & Administrator – East Devon

Funeral Director’s Assistant / Administrator – Exeter, Newton Abbot, Torquay

Full time – 40 hours per week

£22,008 per annum plus payments for participation in the on-call rota up to c£2,500 per annum

Walter C. Parson is a family business started in 1842 which has remained in the family for seven generations.  We strive to deliver a first class service, one which would only be acceptable to a member of our own family.

Due to the expansion of our offices in the Exeter, Newton Abbot and Torquay areas, we are seeking a Funeral Director’s Assistant / Administrator. The role involves being mobile between the three branches, providing administrative support and office cover when the Funeral Director has appointments away from the office. The successful applicant will also form part of our Out of Hours On Call Rota, which allows us to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This role also involves the driving of funeral vehicles, bearing and assisting the Funeral Director in all aspects of our work.

Please note that whilst mechanical means are used as much as possible there are occasions where lifting and carrying heavy weights are part of the role.  Manual handling training is provided and the company takes their responsibility seriously; however, applicants must be able to carry out the full duties of the role.

Our ideal person will be well presented, have excellent customer service skills, be competent with using a computer and won’t mind being outside in all weathers.  Having your own vehicle and a full clean driving licence is also a must and living within Exeter, Newton Abbot, Torbay or the surrounding areas would be preferable.

Completed application forms should be sent to jobs@tamarhr.co.uk by the deadline of 4pm on Friday 14th July 2023.
