• Provide a professional front-of-house service, covering reception, visitors and events as required
• Liaise with contractors, engineers and service providers, supporting the smooth running of office operations
• Support health and safety compliance, including Fire Warden and First Aid responsibilities where required
• Travel occasionally to support other office locations and undertake additional duties as requested by the Office Manager

What we’re looking for:

• Customer-facing or office support experience in a professional environment, whether that’s office, facilities, customer service, finance or general admin
• A highly professional, positive and proactive approach, with pride in delivering high standards of service
• Strong interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills, with confidence engaging with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, work flexibly and collaborate effectively within a team
• Good IT literacy, attention to detail and a willingness to learn new systems and processes
• An interest in workplace operations and continuous improvement
• Knowledge of health and safety legislation and practices (desirable)
• Able to work 36.25 hours per week on a shift pattern between 08:00 and 18:00
• Backgrounds vary, from office and facilities support to customer service, finance or admin, so if you bring the right attitude they’ll help you learn the rest
