About the Role

The East Sussex Registration Service is seeking self-motivated individuals to join its ceremony team at our newly refurbished Southover Grange Register Office in Lewes.

If you have good communication skills, a can do attitude, the ability to work under pressure, and excellent interpersonal skills you could be the person we are looking for. Full training will be provided.

You will be responsible for assisting with the meeting and greeting of couples and their guests. You will be required to ensure that all guests are ushered into the correct room at the right time. To prepare the rooms both pre and post bookings and ensure all guests requirements are met with regard to refreshments etc. Compliance with the licensing laws and the ability to assert yourself when necessary are required along with assisting to help maintain the security of the building.

You will also need to demonstrate a sensitive approach to working with people and be smartly dressed as appropriate for the role.

Whilst many of our ceremonies take place at weekends, and on public holidays, some couples choose to have their ceremony on a weekday. We cannot guarantee hours of work on particular days or on a regular basis but you would need to be available for work at weekends/public holidays especially during the summer months during which time we would expect you to work most weekends as required by the needs of the service. Occasional evening work may also be required.

Additional Information

This post is subject to an Enhanced DBS check or Enhanced check for Regulated Activity with the Disclosure & Barring Services (previously the Criminal Records Bureau). Please note that we require evidence of an overseas police check if you have lived or worked abroad.

Your starting salary will be pro rata if the above position is part-time or term-time only.

Work Permits: we may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency’s Points-based Immigration System.

From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits.
