Ceremonies Officers
Ceremonies Officers are one of the first points of contact for couples booking a civil ceremony in Kent. They lead the frontline services in Register Offices and guide couples through the stages of booking and planning the legal aspects of their ceremony. The role offers the opportunity to meet a wide range of people and help them through one of the biggest days of their lives. Delivering outstanding customer service and demonstrating a high level of technical knowledge are key parts of the role.
The main responsibilities involve delivering Legal Preliminary appointments, liaising with customers over all administrative aspects of their ceremonies, and delivering Register Office and Civil Partnership ceremonies, being trained as both a Registrar and Celebrant.
If you have excellent people skills, can adapt your communication style to different customers, have good attention to detail and good judgement then we would love to hear from you. This is a really rewarding role which offers the opportunity to meet a wide range of people and help guide couples through their journey in booking their ceremony and all the legal aspects of their big day.
