At Poppy’s we are on a mission to give people the funeral they want, need and can feel proud of. We prioritise choice, flexibility and access to information, ensuring our clients are empowered to make the decisions that are right for them.

We are looking for a skilled Client Support Advisor to act as the first point of contact for every client through their funeral journey with us. The successful applicant will work initially from our Tooting HQ, but will eventually be part of our team setting up a new location in south London, supporting our expansion to provide great funeral care to even more people.
