Hello. Just to let you know that this Friday one of our local undertakers (Tottenham and Arsenal Funeral Directors) will be throwing open it’s door as part of the Government’s national Hey Scrounger, Get A Job programme. Bone-idle job-seekers who attend are promised hands-on experience, and they can even bring their nearest and dearest. Activities at the openday will include hearse maintainance; grave digging; grave-stone carving; coffin carrying and lowering; condolence giving; and best of all cadaver embalming and dressing. It’s bound a thrilling day out for all the family and there will be tea and biscuits; coffin-testing for the elderly and, weather permitting, for the under-fives a ball-pool in a recently dug grave. It really will be a wonderful day, so see you there.
More local employers are promising similar open days so keep watching this space. Ruth Freshford. Manager. JobCentrePlus
