Rhiannon Charnock

Acting Secretary

I am the Principal Coroner's Officer for the Berkshire Jurisdiction. I started this role in August 2023 after working in Healthcare Operations Management for 4 years. Prior to this, I worked in the Coroner's Service for 5 years as Senior Coroner's Officer for Berkshire and also Coroner's Service Manager for Hampshire. 

Since I have returned I have been busy recruiting to a fully resourced team, as well as working on an unusual project within the coronial world; in-sourcing the body removal service.

I have been an active part of COASA since I re-joined the Coroner's Service and has taken the lead alongside Hazel Sharkey with getting the website ready to launch.

I am also acting Secretary on the COASA council.

When not at work, I volunteer for a local charity fostering cats which have been rescued and need re-habilitating and re-homing. I also attempt to garden!
