Schedule: Monday to Friday | 9.00am – 5:00pm
Salary: £27,976 per year
We are looking for a warm, professional, service-minded Front of House Receptionist to create an exceptional first impression within a premium commercial office building based on a business park close to Didcot in Oxfordshire.
This is a highly visible role where you will be the face of the building, welcoming tenants, visitors, and contractors, maintaining a polished reception environment, and helping to create a positive and lasting impression for everyone who uses the building.
You will work independently on site, with support from LAH Property Marketing and the Building Management team. The role suits someone who enjoys ownership, takes pride in high standards, and can bring calm, confidence, and personality to a front-of-house environment.
In addition to the core front-of-house responsibilities, this role may also include supporting communication, occupier engagement, newsletters, Canva, events, and added-value initiatives that enhance the overall tenant experience.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
