About Serenity Transfer Service

Serenity Transfer Service Ltd. is British Columbia's trusted provider of professional deceased transfer services, partnering with hospitals, care facilities, provincial agencies, and funeral homes since 2019. We operate with three core values: Dignity, Excellence, and Common Good.

We're looking for composed, reliable individuals to join our Williams Lake team as on-call Decedent Transfer Technicians.

The Role

As a Decedent Transfer Technician, you will respond to transfer calls from hospitals, care facilities, private residences, and investigative authorities. You'll transport decedents with professionalism and care, often serving as the first point of contact for grieving families during one of the most difficult moments of their lives.

This is not a typical job. It requires emotional resilience, physical strength, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. In return, you'll gain meaningful experience applicable to careers in funeral services, paramedicine, nursing, forensics, and emergency response.

What You'll Do

• Respond promptly to transfer calls, often on short notice
• Safely and respectfully transport decedents using company vehicles
• Navigate tight spaces, cluttered environments, and narrow stairwells during removals
• Complete required documentation accurately and professionally
• Maintain strict confidentiality in all circumstances
• Interact compassionately with families, law enforcement, and medical staff when required
• Drive throughout the region and surrounding areas, including in adverse weather and road conditions

What We're Looking For

• Class 5 driver's licence (ICBC), with no restrictions
• A reliable personal vehicle to travel to team meeting points before shifts
• Ability to lift 150+ lbs unassisted and assist moving up to 300 lbs with a partner
• Clear criminal record check (provided at no cost to you)
• Reliable availability for on-call work (you must respond to at least one call per month to remain on the active roster)
• Emotional maturity and composure in sensitive situations
• Comfort working with deceased individuals in various conditions, including exposure to bodily fluids
• Strong communication skills and professional demeanour
• Ability to provide your own dress code attire: plain black collared shirt, black pants, and closed-toe black shoes or boots

Important: Nature of the Work

This role involves routine exposure to human mortality. You will encounter deceased individuals in various states, which may include traumatic injury, advanced decomposition, and other difficult scenes. The ability to witness these conditions while maintaining professional composure is a condition of employment. If you are uncertain whether you can manage this aspect of the role, this position may not be the right fit.

Compensation & Growth

• Probationary Period (First 90 Days): $20.00/hr
• After Successful Probation: $25.00/hr
• Criminal record check provided at no cost
• Flexible scheduling that works around other commitments
• Meaningful experience in a specialized, in-demand field
• Opportunity for increased hours as you develop with the team

What to Expect

Hours fluctuate based on call volume—some weeks may include 10+ hours, while others may involve only one or two calls per month. To remain on the active roster, you must respond to at least one call within any 30-day period.

This role is ideal for individuals seeking supplemental income with flexibility, or those building experience toward careers in healthcare, emergency services, or funeral industries.

A pre-employment aptitude assessment and in-person strength test are required before moving forward in the hiring process. Qualified applicants will receive the assessment link after initial review.
