Designated Deputy Registrar/Deputy Superintendent Registrar (Relief)

We are looking to recruit Deputy Registrars predominantly to assist with our very busy ceremony programme in the Derbyshire Registration District. In addition to weekend working, some weekday and Bank Holiday working will also be involved but applicants are never expected to be available every weekday or every weekend, the role is very flexible.

The successful candidates will be based at one of our Registration Offices so please express your preferred location of either, Ashbourne, Bakewell, Buxton, Glossop, Ilkeston or Swadlincote, on your application form. In addition to being of smart appearance to carry out duties and represent the Service at formal occasions and ceremonies, you must be reliable and available to work flexibly to undertake a range of statutory duties as required in the provisions of service, in accordance with the Birth, Death and Marriage Registration Acts.

Initially, the role will be to assist at marriages and civil partnerships at our office Ceremony Rooms and at numerous approved premise venues in Derbyshire with the possibility of future career progression to conducting ceremonies. This is a varied and interesting role which may also lead to you conducting other types of ceremonies (such as naming ceremonies and renewal of vows ceremonies) and possibly, after additional training, you may also be given the opportunity to register births and deaths together with all associated Registration Office administrative tasks.

The position you are applying for is on a Relief basis that currently has no guaranteed hours or fixed working pattern, but the Registration Service is busy all year round especially between March and October when most ceremonies take place.
