About the high-ranking positions:
A Weyr is headed by the Weyrwoman. She is generally the rider of the ranking gold “queen” in the Weyr. If the Weyrwoman dies, or if her dragon ceases to mate due to old age or serious injury, the rider of the next gold to rise to mate will take the position.
The Weyrwoman is the domestic head of the Weyr. She is in charge of all matters that pertain to housing, food, the raising of children living in the Weyr, training, organization and discipline of the support staff of the Weyr, as well as the day-to-day living requirements of the dragons and their riders. The Weyrwoman is also a diplomatic ambassador, responsible for relations to other Weyrs, Holds and the Crafthalls. Most of her duties are administrative, delegating responsibilities to her Headwoman or junior goldriders.
The Headwoman is the Weyrwoman's primary assistant. The Headwoman is responsible for implementing the Weyrwoman's orders regarding management of the Lower Caverns, where the bulk of the support staff live and work. She is in charge of the cook staff, the cleaning staff, maintenance staff and the Fostering staff. She wields a great deal of power inside of the Weyr.
Junior goldriders are also assistants to the Weyrwoman. All dragons will obey the orders of a queen, unless they contradict the orders of the senior gold. Because of this, all goldriders must act as figureheads. The junior goldriders are typically assigned to record keeping, lower level diplomatic duties and sometimes teaching younger gold weyrling pairs. This provides them with important experience for future leadership positions, as each junior pair has the chance to become Weyrwoman on very short notice.
While the Weyrwoman is the domestic leader of the Weyr, the military side is headed by the Weyrleader. Weyrleadership is determined by the mating flights of the senior queen, the rider of whichever bronze catches her becomes the Weyrleader. The Weyrleader is in charge of making sure that the fighting wings are up to strength, and well trained, he also determines the strategy for threadfighting. The turnover of Weyrleadership varies greatly.
The plural Weyrleaders typically refers to the Weyrwoman as well as the Weyrleader himself.
Wingleaders, who are usually bronzeriders, each lead a wing of 12-33 dragons. Each Wingleader has two Wingseconds who may be brownriders or young bronzeriders in training to be a Wingleader.
One of the most important ranks in the Weyr, below the Weyrleaders, is that of the Weyrlingmaster. He is in charge of the training and discipline of the young dragonpairs known as weyrlings. While under his care, weyrlings learn everything from basic dragon husbandry to advanced threadfighting techniques. The Weyrlingmaster must be appointed by the Weyrleaders. The Weyrlingmaster must have a good deal of experience, and thick skin, because as many as 25% of all Weyrlings can die before the end of their training. Weyrlingmasters are usually bronzeriders, though highly respected and very senior brown or blueriders are sometimes assigned to the position.
About the other positions:
Candidatemaster: The candidate master can be the rider of a bronze, a brown and even a green. The candidate master oversees the candidates, assigning them tasks and making sure that peace is kept between them. In short the CM is the overseer of the candidates, he doesn't need to do much more.
Weyrhealer: The Weyrhealer is the healer of humans and pets, normally he is a journeyman or a master from the Healer Hall, assigned to the Weyr. The Weyrhealer is sometimes a rider but most often just a Healer.
Dragonhealer: The Dragonhealer is very important, looking after the health of the dragons. The dragonhealer is the one that mends broken wings, broken bones and a bruised hide. The Dragonhealer is often the one to thank when a severely damaged dragon is healed so that he my fly thread again. The Dragonhealer is often a rider but not always.
Weyrharper: The Harper is in charge of teaching the residents of the Weyr. He is also the entertainer, singing at feasts and such. The Harper is also in charge on behalf of the Harper Hall to be their ambassador and when the Weyr is fighting with another Weyr, the Harper always tries to make peace. The Harper is often a rider that was already a journeyman Harper when he impressed, but sometimes he's only a rider.
I hope that clears it up a little at least!

Oh my my, that was really good. I'm impressed, it explained darn near everything. Yes, nice job. I think my twins will be healers, one a Weyrhealer and the other a Dragonhealer.
