A special place to work
We are pioneering a new kind of death care — bringing quality of experience, transparency and choice, and positive impact on the planet to a sector that has been stuck in the dark ages.
Every day our work shows us that funerals can be life and grief-changing experiences, so we guide and support people to have the funeral they want — whatever that means to them. We’re on a mission to make this great death care accessible to everyone.
Read personal stories from the people we’ve supported
We’re proud and excited to be on the way to receiving our B Corp accreditation. We take seriously our responsibilities to our planet, our community and our wider stakeholders. We guide our clients to make positive choices for the planet, whilst minimising our own environmental footprint in everything we do.
An exciting time to join the team
We are on the cusp of transformational growth — we’re spending the next three years dramatically increasing the number of people we reach and serve. We have a new CEO — me — leading a team driven to transform people’s experiences at one of life’s most vulnerable and helpless moments.
There is huge flexibility in the role. Yes, there is administration, but there is also the opportunity to step up and support me on projects that will transform the company as we grow.
It’s a critical and varied role with exposure to all aspects of our business. You will learn a load of new skills and be right at the heart of decision-making with me, as we work out how to expand while maintaining our distinctive culture.
An opportunity to learn
You’ll learn a lot from me — I have ten years leading outstanding healthcare services and before that worked in government. I am a good, committed leader and I take my responsibilities to my team seriously.
I’ll need you to come with the right values and a shared commitment to transforming the world we operate in. We’ll do the rest — we’ll train and support you to develop the skills you’ll need to thrive.
Our success at Poppy’s is as much about how we go about things — and how we make people feel — as it is about what we do. So when it comes to our team, behaviours and beliefs matter as much as previous career experience.
A chance to try something new
We support bright ideas, innovation and people who want to try new things. We pride ourselves on our flexibility as an employer — everyone has a home life, and we do our best to work around your needs.
We offer a great benefits package, and we love a celebration — there is nearly always cake to be had. And our team love working at Poppy’s —we have an enviable employee net promoter score of +53!
If you like the sound of growing your own professional skills while growing a business; if you think working in a values-led purpose-driven company is going to float your boat; if you like variety, flexibility and the exhilaration of good organisation and administration, then come and join us as our new Office Manager.
