HEAD CONCIERGE
Rendall & Rittner
£32,000 - £33,000
Discovery Dock West - E14 9RT
4 on, 4 off 0700 - 1900
DEVELOPMENT DETAILS
You’ll be the face of a luxury residential community in the heart of Canary Wharf, home to around 200 apartments and a discerning resident mix of professionals and families. The development benefits from a 24-hour concierge, high-spec leisure facilities including gym, pool and spa, and secure parking, creating a premium, hotel-style environment. With South Quay DLR, Canary Wharf Underground and the Elizabeth line close by, the setting is fast-paced, well-connected and service-led—ideal for a Head Concierge who enjoys delivering exceptional experiences in a polished front-of-house environment.
ROLE EXPECTATIONS
You will lead the concierge function, setting the tone for five-star service at reception while coordinating a small team to keep operations smooth and secure. Most days you’ll balance people-focused front-of-house duties with behind-the-scenes coordination—managing deliveries, contractors, resident requests and building standards—while acting as the go-to point for queries and escalation.
What Success Looks Like
- Residents consistently praise the concierge team for responsive, friendly and solution-focused service.
- The reception and lobby present flawlessly at all times with clear standards and checklists followed.
- Rosters, handovers and daily logs are accurate, timely and support seamless 24/7 coverage.
- Incidents, access control and health and safety procedures are managed calmly and by the book.
- Contractors and deliveries are coordinated without disruption to residents or security.
- Team members are well-briefed, supported and continuously improving through your coaching.
