Who We Are
Manchester City is a football club rooted in East Manchester, with a story that began in 1880 and continues to grow today. Built on resilience, belief and togetherness, success on the pitch is driven by the moments and memories shared with millions of Fans around the world. City is known for its bravery, its determination to the very end and its strong connection to where we come from.

The Role
As Receptionist, you will be the first point of contact for our Manchester site, delivering a polished front-of-house service that reflects the standards of the Club.

You will also help with wider facilities administration, such as diary management, preparing documents and supporting subcontractor processes when required.
