Casual Registrar

This is an exciting opportunity to join Coventry Register Office. As a casual registrar, you will be involved in officiating at marriages and civil partnerships, and other non-statutory ceremonies including baby naming, renewal of vows and commitment ceremonies - all duties required under the Registration Acts and Regulations.

You will need to be able to learn, understand and apply the legalities underpinning registration and the ability to recognise and report cases of fraud, perjury, sham, and forced marriages/civil partnerships.

Excellent people skills are vital, as is the ability to speak confidently before large groups. The role requires you to be personally involved with customers in both a professional and sensitive manner.

You will need to be flexible and you must be a motivated individual who understands the demands of working within this type of environment and will have a good understanding of the sensitive and confidential nature of the service.
