Celebratory Officer

3 days ago


Folkestone, United Kingdom Kent County Council Full time

Advert
The Kent Registration Service is looking for Celebratory Officers to register and conduct their civil ceremonies; these include marriages, civil partnerships, and renewal of vows. This is an opportunity to play a key part in a couple’s special day and is a wonderfully rewarding customer-facing role, giving you the opportunity to meet a wide range of people.

We have annualised hours contracts available across the county for 248 hours and 136 hours per annum. The salary will be paid in equal monthly instalments over the year regardless of the hours worked that month.

The greatest proportion of the work will take place during peak ceremony times which under normal circumstances will be from June to September inclusive. You will be required to work Fridays and/or Saturdays dependent on your contractual hours. During your training period in particular you will need to be flexible to consolidate your learning as there may not be sufficient ceremonies in your own district.

Celebratory Officers are mainly allocated to ceremonies at licensed venues, which provides the opportunity to work at a wide range of Kent’s beautiful ceremony venues. Whilst you will be allocated to a District base, the ability to travel across a wide geographical area in a timely and flexible manner at various times of the day is essential. You may also occasionally be allocated to ceremonies at Register Offices where required.
- Assessment Days which will be held between 5 - 9 September
- Interviews which will be held week commencing 19 September

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position. The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.

Salary is £21,801 pro-rata (This equates to approximately £1538 or £2805 per annum depending on the size of the contract taken)
