Registration Officer

Barnsley Registration Services has an exciting opportunity for you to join our team. We pride ourselves on delivering an excellent service for our customers during key life events.

We require a Registration Officer to support the delivery of the Service on a permanent contract basis.

Some weekend working may be required.

You will have the ability to work co-operatively with others, treat people fairly and equally and adapt your approach to secure a positive outcome.

The successful candidate will have knowledge of relevant legislation, statutory regulations, policies and procedures in relation to civil registration of births, stillbirths, deaths, marriage and civil partnerships. Experience of working in the civil registration service would be an advantage but not essential, as full training will be given.

You must possess a Level 2 qualification or equivalent (eg: 4 GCSE’s at grade A*- C) including English and Maths, or relevant experience and, excellent communication skills.

You must have excellent organisational and prioritisation skills and be flexible, with the ability to work under pressure whilst maintaining a calm, confident and professional manner with a diverse range of people in sensitive situations.

The Council is highly committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff.
