Sharp & Carter is proud to partner with a highly respected leader in the funeral sector to appoint a Funeral Events Administrator & Arranger for their Kembla Grange location.

This is not just a job - it is a deeply meaningful profession. Based at one of the busiest branches in NSW, you will join a capable, experienced, and high-performing team that conducts over 500 funerals per year.

We are seeking someone confident, emotionally mature, and resilient — someone who will not be overwhelmed by volume and who can take ownership of the role with professionalism and care.

You will not be thrown in immediately - structured training and mentoring will be provided.

  • Monday–Friday: 8:42am – 5:00pm
  • Some overtime required for after-hours work
  • Weekend funerals by appointment (expectation to assist on some Saturdays as rostered every 5 weeks)
  • $36+ per hour + Super
  • On-call allowances + overtime payments
  • 4 weeks annual leave
  • Additional 5 days recreational leave accrued over time
Professional uniforms provided. Strict presentation standards apply, reflecting the premium brand and the professional fees families entrust to us.

Key Responsibilities
  • Meet with families to arrange funeral services with empathy and professionalism
  • Coordinate all aspects of services including venues, celebrants, coffins, vehicles, flowers, music, livestreaming, and notices
  • Manage contracts, documentation, and payments accurately
  • Clearly explain professional fees and service options
  • Handle walk-in and ad hoc client enquiries
  • Maintain exceptional attention to detail in a fast-paced environment
  • Work collaboratively within a strong, personality-driven team
  • Take ownership of errors and resolve matters transparently

We are looking for someone who is:
  • A self-starter who does not wait to be directed
  • Capable of building rapport quickly and authentically
  • Able to accept feedback and continuously improve
  • Transparent and accountable
  • Calm under pressure
  • Professional in presentation and communication
  • Empathetic
If you are looking for a meaningful career, not just a job - and you have the maturity, initiative, and professionalism to thrive - we would love to hear from you.
