• Support internal events, team meetings, and hospitality needs as needed

• Prior experience in a high-end corporate receptionist, front-of-house or client-facing admin role
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills — written, verbal, and face-to-face
• Immaculate personal presentation and a calm, confident manner
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to multitask effectively
• Highly reliable, proactive, and solution-oriented
• Competent in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel) and familiarity with booking systems or switchboards
• Comfortable working independently while supporting a wider office team

Benefits

• Competitive salary of £32,000 – £42,000 depending on experience
• 22 days holiday plus bank holidays, plus 1 day birthday leave and 1 day charity work leave.
