This role is central to creating a positive first and lasting impression for all visitors and clients. Our client operates within a fast-paced, professional environment—this could be a corporate office, a boutique hotel, a healthcare facility, or a premium leisure venue in Exeter. You will be the face of the organisation, responsible for ensuring smooth daily operations at the reception and front desk. This is more than just answering phones; it's about providing exceptional customer service, managing logistics, and supporting various administrative functions to ensure the business runs seamlessly.

Whether you're looking for short-term flexibility or a foot in the door with a great local company, we provide the bridge. We understand the demands of modern work-life balance, which is why we champion flexible shifts and immediate start opportunities, much like the roles we advertise for a Delivery Driver/Courier in CH14 or a Customer Service Agent in London, SW11.

Key Responsibilities

• Providing a warm, professional, and efficient welcome to all visitors, clients, and staff, managing sign-in procedures and issuing security passes.
• Handling a high volume of inbound telephone calls, emails, and postal correspondence, directing enquiries to the appropriate person or department with accuracy and discretion.
• Managing meeting room bookings, coordinating refreshments, and ensuring all front-of-house areas are presented immaculately and stocked with necessary supplies.
• Providing general administrative support such as data entry, filing, photocopying, and assisting with the coordination of couriers and mail distribution.
• Acting as a first point of contact for any issues or queries, problem-solving effectively to maintain a smooth operational flow and a positive environment.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in a front-of-house, receptionist, or customer-facing role, with exceptional communication and interpersonal skills.
• A smart, professional appearance and a positive, can-do attitude, with the ability to remain calm and courteous under pressure.
• Strong organisational skills and proficiency in standard office software (e.g., Microsoft Office, email systems).
• Reliability and flexibility; you must be able to start at short notice and adapt to varying daily tasks, much like the adaptability required for a Health Information Manager in BN12.
