Be the face of Pets at Home!
We're looking for an experienced Receptionist to join our Support Office in Handforth. As the first person visitors, colleagues and partners meet when they arrive, you'll play a key role in creating a welcoming, professional and positive experience for everyone who walks through our doors.
This is far more than a traditional reception role. You'll be the hub of our busy Support Office, keeping things running smoothly, supporting workplace operations, coordinating meetings and events, and providing vital administrative support across the business. If you're highly organised, enjoy variety in your day, and thrive in a people-focused environment, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll be doing
- Providing a warm, professional welcome to all visitors and guests.
- Managing reception, visitor sign-ins and site access processes.
- Handling incoming calls, emails and enquiries, ensuring they reach the right people quickly.
- Coordinating mail, deliveries and workplace services across the office.
- Managing meeting rooms, conference facilities and office bookings.
- Supporting the organisation of meetings, events and on-site activities.
- Assisting with new starter onboarding and workplace set-up.
- Maintaining accurate records, reports and business documentation.
- Supporting compliance activities, including contractor documentation and PAT testing coordination.
- Providing administrative support to the Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) & Compliance Team.
- Taking ownership of a range of day-to-day administrative tasks that help our Support Office run efficiently.
