This is an excellent opportunity for someone currently working within hospitality, retail, hotels, leisure or another customer-facing environment who would like to move into an office-based, Monday–Friday position while continuing to use their people and customer service skills.

Your responsibilities will include:
- Welcoming customers and visitors and providing friendly, professional support
- Building positive relationships and being a visible and approachable presence
- Maintaining communal areas throughout the day, including reception areas, kitchens, bathrooms, meeting rooms and refreshment areas
- Carrying out regular cleaning and presentation checks to ensure consistently high standards
- Restocking kitchens, bathrooms and refreshment areas
- Preparing fresh coffee and maintaining clean and fully stocked tea and coffee stations
- Supporting with catering and the set-up and clear-down of meeting and event spaces
- Receiving and distributing post and deliveries
- Monitoring stock levels and ordering everyday supplies
- Completing straightforward daily health & safety and compliance checks, with full training provided
- Reporting maintenance issues and helping to coordinate their resolution
- Looking after plants and helping to maintain an attractive, welcoming environment
- Supporting the wider team with general day-to-day operational tasks
