The successful candidate will work collaboratively with the Superintendent Registrar to lead and supervise officers to ensure high‑quality service delivery. The post holder will act as Senior Deputy Superintendent Registrar and must display expertise in all aspects of Registration.

As well as being the subject expert, the candidate must be a pro‑active problem solver, resilient, and as excellent with people as they are with technology.
