DEVELOPMENT DETAILS

You'll be the face of a luxury residential community in the heart of Canary Wharf, home to around 200 apartments and a discerning resident mix of professionals and families. The development benefits from a 24-hour concierge, high-spec leisure facilities including gym, pool and spa, and secure parking, creating a premium, hotel-style environment. With South Quay DLR, Canary Wharf Underground and the Elizabeth line close by, the setting is fast-paced, well-connected and service-led ideal for a Head Concierge who enjoys delivering exceptional experiences in a polished front-of-house environment.

ROLE EXPECTATIONS

You will lead the concierge function, setting the tone for five-star service at reception while coordinating a small team to keep operations smooth and secure. Most days you'll balance people-focused front-of-house duties with behind-the-scenes
coordination managing deliveries, contractors, resident requests and building standards while acting as the go-to point for queries and escalation.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Residents consistently praise the concierge team for responsive, friendly and solution-focused service.

Incidents, access control and health and safety procedures are managed calmly and by the book. Contractors and deliveries are coordinated without disruption to residents or security. Team members are well-briefed, supported and continuously improving through your coaching.

HOW YOU'LL SPEND MOST OF YOUR TIME

Leading by example at the front desk: welcoming residents and visitors and resolving queries quickly. Overseeing team shifts, handovers, daily briefings and allocating tasks to meet service priorities. Managing parcel rooms,
key control, access passes and vigilant lobby and CCTV monitoring. Coordinating bookings for amenities, move-ins/outs, parking and resident services. Liaising with contractors and the building management team to schedule works and maintain standards. Maintaining accurate records: incident reports, logs, permits to work and compliance checklists.

WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR

You take pride in creating a calm, polished and professional front-of-house experience. You're a natural organiser who thrives on structure, clear processes and timely follow-through. You communicate clearly and empathetically, building trust with residents, visitors and colleagues. You stay composed under pressure and make sound decisions in fast-moving situations. You enjoy coaching others, giving feedback and fostering a supportive team culture.
