Ceremony Officer

Could you be a professional celebrant? Then join our team.

Nottinghamshire County Council’s registration service is looking to appoint suitable people as Ceremony Officers to both conduct and register marriages and civil partnerships, as well as delivering citizenship, naming and renewal of vows ceremonies. 

If you enjoy working with the public, are a confident public speaker, have an aptitude for accuracy and attention to detail, good numeracy skills, are presentable, professional, personable and have neat, legible handwriting – this could be the role for you. There are opportunities available now with our team in Worksop, Nottinghamshire.

These are varied and rewarding positions, that in addition to the above, also require stamina and organisation skills, so we need colleagues with enthusiasm, confidence, and sensitivity to work as Ceremony Officers at our Worksop Register office and approved venues in the North Nottinghamshire area.

Full training is provided but you must first demonstrate exceptional public speaking skills.

Availability is key – Ceremony Officers are part of a flexible pool of people who, in addition to our permanent registration staff, provide cover on the ceremony rota, and may even be asked to provide cover at short notice or for illness. The work is predominantly at weekends during the summer months but is year-round, with midweek work being available.

Our service depends on Ceremony Officers who can drive with access to a vehicle and can get to our locations quickly and reliably. Therefore, you will need to verify that your home is within a 15-mile radius of our register office in Worksop, Nottinghamshire to qualify for an interview.

Please do not apply if you cannot commit to working Saturdays and/or Sundays, which may be up to two weekends per month between April and October. For those with more flexibility – great, we’d love to hear from you.

If you think you have the skills we are looking for and are interested in making dreams a reality, apply now
