The Role

Do you want to be part of a special service, one that touches people at the most important times in their lives? Then this post may be just what you are looking for.

We have a rare opportunity to offer this post to work within our Support Team based at County Hall, Worcester. It is a busy and often demanding role that covers a varied range of duties, from telephony work, providing information and advice to the public to Reception cover and support for the Superintendent Registrar and Registrars. We can guarantee no two days are the same!  

We make no apologies for providing excellence. Our standards are high. We deliver a service to the community, often at the most vulnerable times in their lives, so the need for integrity and professionalism is paramount. We need to be able to deliver the right service at the right time in people's lives, so a flexible approach to work is essential. Being part of our Service is demanding, rewarding and unique. Are you the person we are looking for? 

Bring your skills and qualities to our team and we will provide full training in all the technical aspects of the role. What skills are we looking for? Our person specification provides all the details, but our main focus is how you would look after our community.
