We’re looking for a Front of House Host with commercial office experience to join our company in a stand alone position at 5 Brindley Place in Birmingham, providing a professional and welcoming service to tenants, visitors and contractors while helping to ensure the building is safe, secure and well presented.

About the role

You’ll be the welcoming face of 5 Brindley Place, providing a professional, friendly and proactive Front of House service while supporting the smooth day-to-day running of the building.

You’ll be responsible for

• Delivering a professional, welcoming front-of-house service, ensuring reception is always clean, organised and presentable.


• Answering calls and welcoming visitors to reception in a professional, friendly and efficient manner.


• Providing prompt, helpful and proactive support to visitors, tenants, contractors and colleagues.


• Liaising with management to ensure the smooth and efficient running of the building.


• Arranging and carrying out daily checks in conjunction with management.


• Carrying out daily inspections of internal and external entrances.


• Supporting cleaning standards and reporting any issues to management immediately.


• Ensuring landscaped areas are well maintained and reporting any issues to management immediately.


• Ensuring all health and safety checks are carried out as requested by management.


• Ensuring deliveries and contractors are properly recorded on site and effective access and egress control is maintained.


• Preventing, detecting and investigating offences on site, signs of intrusion and security concerns.


• Ensuring doors and gates are secure and unauthorised personnel do not enter restricted areas.


• Responding to emergency situations and liaising with emergency services where required.


• Testing fire alarm systems, including setting and disengaging the alarm panel, activating call points and responding promptly to alarm activations.


• Accurately reporting incidents and recording daily activities and irregularities.


• Logging and storing lost property in line with procedures.


• Maintaining strict confidentiality in respect of tenants and others.

• Undertaking other miscellaneous duties relating to general service as requested by management.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who is professional, approachable and proactive, with a genuine focus on delivering excellent customer service.

You’ll ideally have

• Confidence using IT systems, reception tools and basic office technology.


• Previous experience working with business space tenants within an office or corporate workspace environment is essential.


• Clear, professional and confident communication skills.


• Strong customer service skills, with a proactive, helpful and solutions-focused approach.


• Strong attention to detail.


• Good awareness of health, safety and security responsibilities within a managed building environment.


• The ability to remain calm, professional and responsive.


• Fire Marshal training.


• First aid training.

Benefits

• £28,000-£32,000 FTE DOE


• 25 days' holiday per year plus bank holidays


• Private Medical Insurance (medical history disregarded)


• Annual Dental benefit inclusive of two appointments per year


• Healthcare Cash Plan


• 5% Company pension contribution


• 3x Life Assurance


• Cycle to work scheme


• Employee Assistance Programme


• Group income protection scheme
