Job description

Receptionist, Shaftesbury, Temporary to Permanent – £13.73ph

Are you available immediately? and a friendly face who loves making others feel welcome and at ease? Do you enjoy being the go-to person who helps things run smoothly day to day?

We’re recruiting for a warm, approachable, and dependable Receptionist to join a local team in Shaftesbury. You’ll be the first point of contact – setting the tone with your professionalism, smile, and natural ability to make people feel comfortable.

Although this role starts as temporary, it has the potential to become permanent – ideal if you’re looking for something long-term where you can really settle in.

As the Receptionist, you’ll benefit from:

• Weekly pay

• Free on-site parking

• Friendly and consistent working hours – no weekends

• Potential for a permanent role

• Being part of a welcoming, people-focused team

As the Receptionist, your role will include:

• Greeting and assisting visitors and callers in a calm, confident manner

• Managing incoming communications and directing enquiries appropriately

• Providing general admin support to help things run smoothly

• Keeping the front-of-house area tidy, organised and welcoming

• Building positive working relationships with internal teams and visitors alike

To succeed in this Receptionist role, you’ll need:

• A natural ability to put people at ease – both in person and over the phone

• Strong organisational skills with a consistent, dependable approach

• A can-do attitude and a willingness to get involved where needed

• Previous experience in a customer-facing or admin role is helpful

• Good IT skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure

This is the perfect opportunity if you take pride in creating a warm, professional first impression – and love being part of a close-knit, values-driven team.
