Why Dignity? Dignity exists to help every family in Britain navigate the hardest moments of life with simplicity, dignity, kindness and exceptional care.
Our head office teams, across functions like finance, HR, marketing and IT, make sure the people working directly with families have what they need to do that well.
Dignity is going through a real period of change.
We're building better systems, simplifying how things work, and strengthening the business for the long term, and head office plays a big part in making that happen.
We look for people who take pride in their work, support their colleagues, and want to keep learning.
You'll be part of a close team, and you'll be able to see the difference your work makes, even when you're not working with families directly.
If you're looking for a role with variety, a supportive team, and the chance to grow, Dignity is a good place to be.
FCA Statement Dignity is part of a group that includes FCA-regulated activities, and some roles may be subject to relevant training, screening, conduct, and regulatory requirements.
This will be confirmed as part of the recruitment process.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Statement Our vision is to connect with our clients, colleagues, company, and communities based on our principles whilst celebrating our differences.
We aim to empower leaders and colleagues to seek out and understand new voices and perspectives; to be vocal about inequity and exclusion, and to take decisive, informed, and bold action to promote inclusion and belonging.
Any unsolicited submissions from agencies will be accepted as a direct application from the candidate, and no fees will be payable. xwzovoh
We reserve the right, depending on application numbers, to close or extend the closing dates for positions; we would therefore recommend an early application.
