About Farewill

All of us are going to die. It’s a fundamental, tragic part of what it is to be human. But the services that should be supporting us haven’t changed in decades.

From writing your will to planning a funeral, the way we deal with death is formal, complicated and expensive. Instead of feeling supported, people feel lost.

But it doesn’t need to be this way. We started Farewill to make the experience warmer, brighter and friendlier.

We’re the UK’s biggest will writer and one of the leading funeral companies in the country. Our generous customers have pledged over £1.03 billion to charities, through donations left in their wills.

We’re backed by top investors who are as excited by our mission as we are, and we’ve won awards for the work we’ve done. But there’s a lot more to do.

The role

You will be responsible for checking our online wills to ensure they are factually and legally correct, and free from errors. This is a critical role that helps us deliver a top service to our customers, and as such, our ideal person is motivated by doing high quality work.
You’ll spend the first couple of weeks getting trained up on our systems and will checking processes before being signed off to help us check wills through September, October and November. This is a great role for someone who is looking to return to work, fit some work in around an otherwise busy lifestyle, or who wants to continue honing their legal knowledge through wills checking.

To change the way the world deals with death we need a team that celebrates diversity in all its forms. We’re building a workplace where everyone is treated fairly and respectfully.
