Based at Gibson’s Funeral Services - Bishop Auckland, our Funeral Service Operatives are calm, professional and play a vital role in our service.

A good Funeral Service Operative will be able to provide reassurance to families that we will take good care of their loved ones whilst we prepare them for their final journey.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
In addition to bringing people's loved ones into our care, Funeral Service Operatives play an active role behind the scenes, working in the mortuary, fitting coffins, and dressing the deceased; as well as participating in funeral services, pallbearing, and helping to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Your duties will include:
- Driving company vehicles, so you'll need a full driving licence
- Being on the out-of-hours and on-call rota, which will provide an opportunity to earn additional payments
Being a Funeral Service Operative can be challenging and rewarding, and no two days are quite the same. Within this role, you will also be trained as a Funeral Director to support the business needs. To learn more about this important role, go to our Careers page.
