  • Scan, file and archive documents in the correct client folders.
  • Book appointments, meeting rooms and boardroom catering.
  • Sort incoming post and book couriers for outgoing documents.
  • Answer and transfer calls on a multi-line switchboard within three rings.

You'll need

  • Microsoft Word, Outlook and basic Excel
  • You can juggle a ringing phone and a waiting visitor at once
  • Well presented, punctual and organised
  • A warm, clear phone manner in English
  • Discreet with confidential information
  • At least 1 year on reception or a front desk
