About the Role:

As a Registrar, you will play a vital role within North Yorkshire's Registration Service, a statutory service delivered on behalf of the Registrar General and the General Register Office (GRO).

Our work ensures the accurate, sensitive, and professional registration of life events across the county. Based primarily at Richmond Registration Office, you will provide cover at Richmond Registration Office for a minimum of three days per week and two days per week at Northallerton Registration Office and may be required to work at other locations across North Yorkshire as service needs dictate. Flexibility and the ability to travel are therefore essential.

• Complete all legal preliminaries and post-ceremony documentation.
• Take notices of Marriage and Civil partnership.
• Support Citizenship ceremonies and other celebratory services.

You will join a friendly and supportive team, with comprehensive training provided. As you develop in the role, you will also have the opportunity to work towards a professional qualification.

In addition, optional paid weekend ceremonies offer the opportunity to enhance your earnings while helping couples and families celebrate life's most important milestones.

What You'll Bring

We're looking for someone who is:

• Confident using a wide range of digital systems and technology.
• Professional, approachable, and able to build rapport with people from all backgrounds.
• An excellent communicator with strong written English and a high standard of accuracy.
• Experienced in customer-facing or frontline service roles.
• Organised, resilient, and calm when working under pressure.
• Comfortable undertaking administrative tasks, data entry, and detailed statutory processes (full training provided).
• A reliable team player who values collaboration and contributes positively to a supportive working environment.
• Highly detail-oriented, with the accuracy required for legal documentation and registration records.
• Punctual, dependable, and able to manage a busy appointment schedule effectively.
• Above all, you'll be committed to delivering exceptional customer service and supporting people through some of the most significant moments of their lives.

Why Work for North Yorkshire Council?

• As the largest employer in the county, we're committed to investing in our people and creating thriving communities. We celebrate diversity, promote inclusion, and provide equal opportunities for everyone. When you join us, you'll benefit from:
• Ongoing learning and professional development opportunities.
