Registrar

Nottinghamshire, England, United Kingdom

1/8/2025

The County Council’s Registration Service strives to deliver the best possible service to customers registering their most significant life events with us; births, deaths, marriages, civil partnerships or gaining citizenship; as well as producing accurate legal records and certificates of those events. These are the daily duties of a Registrar, and alongside this you will be required to deliver legal marriage and civil partnership ceremonies, plus a wide range of non-statutory services for those celebrating other milestone occasions such as renewal of vows and naming ceremonies.

We currently have a Registrar vacancy of 44 hours per week in the North area of the service. With a full-time post being 37 hours per week, these hours will be a combination of full-time and/or part-time positions. Hours and days will be agreed with the successful candidates on appointment. The North area provides service points in Worksop, Newark and Retford. The regular work base for this position is Newark, but you may be required, on occasions, to work across the whole area as necessary.

We are looking for someone with the skills, enthusiasm and drive to help us achieve our high ambitions for service delivery to the people of Nottinghamshire. Accuracy, attention to detail and empathetic skills are essential to work in this field of registering life events precisely and sensitively, but above all you must enjoy working with people experiencing both the emotional high and low points in life.

On appointment you will quickly be required to fulfil practitioner duties in our busy frontline registration office, therefore previous experience is highly desirable though not essential as full training will be provided. You must also be willing to work weekends and Bank Holidays, as required, on a rota basis, have a full valid driving license and regular use of a vehicle.

You need to demonstrate the relevant NCC corporate competencies and have particular skills to be:

• incredibly accurate, with an exceptional attention to detail
• confident in your ability to sensitively and accurately register births, deaths, marriages, civil partnerships and citizenships
• able to follow high level, complex legal guidelines and procedures
• competent in the use of a wide range of IT and digital systems
• approachable, courteous, tactful, enthusiastic, energetic and innovative
• used to dealing with the pressures of a diverse workload and deadlines, whilst responding flexibly and quickly to changing priorities
• confident in public speaking and able to command the attention of large groups of people
• setting a personally high standard of customer service
• an experienced communicator, able to build and maintain relationships in both one to one and group situations and works well within a team
• exceptionally organised
• assertive when required.
