Funeral Home Transfer Assistant (Casual)

Bare Cremation is a technology company reinventing the funeral industry.  

Bare Cremation was started with a simple vision – to give all Australians access to an affordable and stress free funeral service.

We experienced first hand just how expensive, stressful and confusing arranging a funeral can be. 

So, we fixed it.

We’ve built an entirely online funeral planning experience, for both families in their time of need, and Australians looking to prepay their funeral in advance. In bringing this experience online, we’re making funerals simple and inexpensive. We want like-minded people to join us for the ride.

As part of our growth, we're looking to bring onboard a Funeral Transfer Driver to join our team.  At Bare, we want to be known as providing great customer experiences, and this role is core to that promise - making the end of life experience as exceptional, empathetic and supportive as possible for your families.

The Transfer Driver will be responsible for:

• Transfer of deceased persons from the place of passing to mortuary facilities. Collection locations will include hospitals, private homes, aged care facilities and other public locations
• Work and communicate regularly with the health care staff, police and coronial staff to facilitate the transfers, also effectively and compassionately communicating with the family of the deceased
• Manually handle the deceased, often placing them, caringly and reverently, onto transfer stretchers and then transporting them in a van to the respective destination
• Safely orchestrate and manoeuvre locations that have stairs, limited access and complicated extractions (training, tools and aids are provided); manual lift of the deceased is required in a number of circumstances - the successful applicant will be fit and able to complete this lifting task on their own 
• Uphold and maintain a reverent, caring and respectful approach and manner in every aspect of their role and tasks
• Understand that their role can involve confronting scenes and circumstances
• Work in an on-call capacity, completing their tasks within agreed response timeframes
• Can work as a team – our Drivers work in pairs.

The Ideal Candidate will have:

• Full valid Driver’s License (and personal transport to report to work)
• A Current Police Check (or willing to obtain one)
• Full working rights in Australia
• Mobile Phone
• A caring and compassionate nature
• Be capable of performing physically demanding tasks including heavy lifting as required
• Fully Vaccinated for COVID-19
