What you’ll do:

  • develop an action plan to improve community wellbeing, aligned to key themes
  • establish and run a local community forum, or make connections with one that already exists
  • build a strong group of contacts locally, making use of social media platforms to help with listening to and getting involved in community conversation
  • get activities off the ground and encourage lots of involvement from members in your community
  • prioritise your time, making your hours count and focusing on opportunities to make the biggest difference

This role would suit someone who:

  • lives within or very close to the community you’ll support, detailed above

As a member pioneer you’ll have the chance to support local communities, making a visible difference by encouraging people to work together. As a Co-op colleague you’ll also receive a competitive salary and a wide range of benefits including:

  • 24 days holiday (rising to 30 with service)
  • discounts on all kinds of Co-op products and services
  • a pension with up to 10% employer contributions

Building an inclusive work environment

We’re actively building diverse teams and welcome applications from everyone. But simply having a diverse workforce is not enough. We want to build an inclusive environment, where everyone can develop to their full potential. We celebrate our differences, and recognise the importance of teams reflecting the communities they serve.

We can make adjustments to the interview process according to your needs. And we offer a flexible working environment so you can adjust your hours to suit your personal circumstances. You can find out more about Co-op people policies at coop.co.uk/peoplepolicies

Caledonia Cremation

Non-Profit Funerals Administrator

  • Caledonia Cremation
  • Part time
  • £20,000 – £22,000 pro-rata
  • Glasgow – near Hillington West train station
  • Closing 9th December 2019

Caledonia Cremation is the country’s only not for profit funeral directors. Working with us, everyday you will be making an incredible difference to the lives of bereaved families all across Scotland.

One in seven families fall into debt or poverty as a result of excessive funeral costs – we help provide them affordable options and wrap-around support. An average funeral nationwide costs £5000 – whereas we provide a funeral for £995. But we are also focused on changing the culture around funerals more broadly – spreading the word about how to have personal and flexible funerals that don’t need to cost so much.

This is a role for someone who is highly organised, keen to work in a small team, and who wants to provide support to bereaved families. You would need to be able to work under pressure, showing empathy, tact, maturity and sensitivity with excellent written English with a meticulous eye for detail.

It does not necessarily require any existing knowledge or experience around funerals but rather the ability to act compassionately and complete paperwork carefully.

You will be in touch with families mostly by telephone but also with some Facebook, email and face to face contact.

As a very small team there will need to be flexibility and a willingness to join in on a range of other tasks. We anticipate this role leading towards a more formal adviser role once you have built up more experience and knowledge around funerals. There is some flexibility around determining days/hours for work.
