Castle Coordinator

Norfolk County Council

Would you be interested in joining Norfolk Registration Service helping to deliver outstanding legal and non-legal ceremonies at the Benefactors Room in Norwich Castle, one of the Registration Services dedicated ceremony suites.

We are looking to recruit two friendly and outgoing people who have experience managing large groups of people, have excellent organisational skills, work well under pressure, and are comfortable with public speaking.

It will be your responsibility to support the ceremony party and their guests, ensuring that ceremonies run to time by providing guidance, directions and support. You will work closely with the Celebrant Registrars who deliver the ceremonies providing the couple and their guests with a memorable experience.

Monday: No ceremonies

Tuesday: 11am to 4pm

Wednesday: 12pm to 4pm

Thursday: 11am to 4pm

Friday: 11am to 4pm

Saturday: 11am to 4pm

Sunday: 2pm and 3pm

Saturdays are the most popular day for ceremonies; however, Norwich Castle is an extremely popular venue, where ceremonies can tan take place six days a week, especially during the busier summer months, in comparison to the winter months that are quieter.

We are looking to recruit two candidates to this role who will be allocated ceremonies on a rotational basis on a variable hour contract.

If you would like an informal discussion regarding this vacancy prior to submitting your application, please contact Jenny Cocks, Ceremony and Celebrant Team Leader at ***email_hidden***
