  • Sort incoming post and book couriers for outgoing documents.
  • Keep the reception area neat and the coffee station stocked.
  • Answer and transfer calls on a multi-line switchboard within three rings.

What you need

  • At least 1 year on reception or a front desk
  • 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
