Further Information
We are looking for someone to join the team at Peterborough Register Office as a Registration Support Officer working four days a week, on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
You will be the first point of contact with the public when on reception, organising and appearing at citizenship ceremonies at the Town Hall, and delving into our archives to produce historical certificates.
You’ll also be ushering and registering at marriages and civil partnerships, so will need to be confident in front of an audience. In addition to this, you’ll be involved in a range of other administration work underpinning our service.
Excellent administration and people skills are vital, and you will need to show calmness and tact in emotional and confidential situations. You’ll be working both individually and as part of a team, with the role varying from one day to the next.
This is a demanding position in a busy office, but if you think you have the experience and enthusiasm to deliver it, we’d love to hear from you.
Please note:
Regulation 5 of the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages Regulations 1968 (SI 1968/2049) specifies the disqualifications for a registration officer which are:

• a person holding office as an authorised person, secretary (for marriages) of a synagogue or
registering officer of the Society of Friends;
• a minister of religion, a medical practitioner, a midwife, an undertaker or other person
concerned in a burial or cremation business, a person engaged in any business concerned with life insurance, or a person engaged in any other calling which would conflict with or prevent the proper performance of the duties of the office for which he is a candidate.
We are proud to serve the diverse communities of Cambridgeshire/Peterborough and want our workforce to reflect this diversity, which we believe is beneficial for our employees, the organisation and the communities we serve.
