We are looking for a warm, professional, and service-minded Front of House Receptionist to create an exceptional first impression within a premium commercial office building.
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 provides autonomy and trust, and suits someone who enjoys ownership, takes pride in high standards, and can bring calm, confidence, and personality to a front-of-house environment.
Key Responsibilities
You will be responsible for delivering a professional front-of-house service, including:
Service Delivery
- Providing a warm and professional welcome to tenants, visitors, and contractors;
- Taking ownership of the reception area so it remains organised, presentable, and welcoming;
- Supporting the smooth running of reception, including visitors, contractors, deliveries, and couriers;
- Dealing confidently with competing priorities at reception;
- Preparing refreshments for guests where required;
- Supporting routine tenant or building queries and directing issues to the right person;
- Carrying out visual checks of reception or agreed areas and reporting presentation, maintenance, or operational issues through the correct process.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you

Professional Standards
- Maintaining high standards of presentation, conduct, and reliability;
- Being punctual, dependable, and ready to start work on time;
- Following building procedures and supporting health and safety standards;
- Representing LAH and the building in a professional and positive manner.
Independence
- Managing reception confidently on a day-to-day basis;
- Prioritising tasks during busy and quieter periods;
- Using judgement to identify and escalate issues to Building Management, LAH, or service partners where needed.
Success in the role depends not only on completing tasks but on how they are delivered in practice. These areas reflect the standards used during hiring, induction, probation, and ongoing performance reviews.
