We're on a path to scale, aiming to become a household name while transforming a long-established industry and helping our customers prepare for, and find support after, death.
But we can't do it alone, and that's why we're assembling a team of top performers to build with us.
Ready to be part of something big?
The Role
The National Bereavement Service (NBS) is the specialist training arm supporting this mission.

Following a period of significant growth, we are seeking an experienced and confident Training Manager to lead the development and delivery of our national bereavement training programmes.
This hands-on leadership role is suited to a qualified trainer who can translate research-led insight into engaging, trauma-informed training for corporate, charity, and public sector audiences.

National Industry Representation: Act as a primary spokesperson for NBS at partnership meetings and national industry conferences. You must be comfortable and commanding when speaking to large audiences on stage to advocate for improved bereavement standards.
Delivery & Team Leadership
Operational Oversight: Manage the coordination of the national delivery calendar and lead the delivery of our more complex or bespoke training commissions.

Why Join Us
As part of Octopus Legacy, you'll join a values-driven organisation committed to improving how workplaces respond to grief, while supporting the wellbeing and development of our people.
Our Mission
Octopus Legacy is the place to plan for death and find support after loss. When people think about planning for death they think about wills, life insurance and funerals. We take these cold processes and turn them into something more human. Share more than money: leave voice notes, music, recipes. Shape a legacy that connects you while you're here. And after you're gone.
Founded by Sam after his mum died suddenly, we're a group of people who work in death because we've been affected by it. We know the difference a good plan makes, and what it's like when there isn't one.
Death can come between us, leaving mess, legal fees, frustration. But it can also make us stronger. We see a world where people talk openly about death, and work out the real meaning of legacy, one that connects to them. We're here to make that world happen.
Benefits
Octopus share incentive scheme
27 days holiday + extra day off for your Birthday
Vitality Health & Life Insurance
Pension scheme
Enhanced parental leave
