Current Open Roles
Executive Assistant to the Leadership Team
We’re looking for that person. The one who keeps everything running smoothly and everyone moving forward.
The steady presence.
The organiser.
The problem-solver.
The one who can see what’s needed before it’s even asked.
We’re creating a brand-new Executive Assistant role to work closely with me and the rest of our Leadership Team. This is an opportunity to get in and help us set up systems, keep us organised, and make sure our days run smoothly, so we can focus on what matters most: supporting our staff and providing the very best care to the families who trust us.
You’ll help with scheduling and task coordination, onboarding new team members, keeping on top of maintenance and repairs, supporting marketing and social content, and assisting with our charity partnerships. It’s a dynamic role that requires initiative, organisation, and someone who genuinely enjoys helping others do their best work.
If you thrive on bringing calm to busy days, love creating systems that actually work, and enjoy supporting people, this could be the perfect role for you.
If this sounds like you, or someone you know, we’d love to hear from you.

Client Care Coordinator
At Pettigrew Family Funerals, we believe care should begin the moment a family reaches out - and continue long after the service has ended.
We’re seeking a Client Care Coordinator / Family Support Administrator to be the gentle voice and steady support guiding families through the funeral process. In this new role, you’ll ensure families feel informed, prepared, and cared for —-from confirming meeting details and guiding them through arrangements, to sending invitations to memorial events and heartfelt anniversary cards.
You’ll also provide valuable administrative support to our coordination and reception teams, helping maintain our standard of exceptional care.
We’re looking for someone who is organised, compassionate, and has a genuine love for helping others. A warm phone manner, strong computer skills, and great people skills are essential.
Industry experience and life experience with grief or loss are highly regarded.
If you’re a caring, thoughtful person who finds meaning in supporting others - we’d love to hear from you.
