Bare is Australia's most highly rated end of life business - supporting Australian families through the hardest time in their life.
We are a company dedicated to providing accessible, affordable end-of-life care to change the way that Australians deal with death. Our aim is to change the game in the funeral industry which has long provided expensive, traditional, cookie cutter services that don't always meet the needs of the modern Australian.
By combining empathy with technology, we're creating end-of-life experiences that are simple, personalised and affordable. In only five years, we've served more than 50,000 families, have become Australia's most awarded end-of-life provider (with awards in customer service, innovation and digital disruption), and have built a team of more than 200 people committed to changing the way Australians deal with end-of-life. And we're just getting started.

As part of our growth, we're building out our ground operations in the Sunshine Coast and looking for experienced people to join our team.
Service Delivery Specialist (SDS) is the unified ground role at Bare. It brings together three streams of work service support, transfers, and return of ashes under one role and one career path. We've designed it this way because the people we work with don't fit into traditional funeral-industry silos. An SDS might do a transfer from a hospital in the morning, then bring real presence and empathy to a service that same afternoon. The work is varied, hands-on, and meaningful.
This role suits people who take pride in helping families through one of the hardest moments of their lives. Some people in this role want breadth across all of it; others want to specialise deeply in one part. Both paths are real, and we'll shape the work to what suits you. You'll be on-site at funerals and memorials, in vans doing transfers, at residences delivering ashes, and at our hub keeping operations running at the mix that's right for you.

What's in it for me?
Someone in our end-of-life team recently described their role this way: "This is the most impactful work I've ever done. I feel lucky to be able to help people that truly need support." So, there's that. We've also been named one of the 2026 Top 10 Inspiring Workplaces across Australasia — proof that our people-first culture is more than just talk. #PeopleFirst
In addition, you'll get:
A real career. We care deeply about offering progression for our high performers. As a fast growing company there will be plenty of opportunities.
Genuine breadth. You'll work across transfers, services, ROA, and hub work. We don't believe in single-skill silos.
