Job Description

Receptionist (0722)

An excellent job opportunity has arisen for a Receptionist to join the team in our Newcastle office, working hours will be 1:00pm-5:30pm from Monday to Friday. You will also be required to help out with adhoc evening events within the firm and so some flexibility is required .

As a receptionist you'll create a positive first impression to clients and visitors and promote a friendly and approachable environment. You'll be the first point of contact for visitors to the firm so a positive attitude is key.

What will you be doing?

As the first point of contact you will be meeting and greeting all visitors whether its clients, contractors or employees. Other duties will include taxi booking, booking and coordinating meetings rooms, taking responsibility for ensuring all in-house functions run smoothly by ensuring the rooms are set up and ready for use and liaising with our catering team.

You'll need to be able to work to deadlines and enjoy interacting with lots of different people - this is where your great customer service skills come in.

So, what are we looking for?

This is a key client facing job role that requires expert communication skills, patience, attentiveness, a calming presence and the ability to think on your feet. It goes without saying that we would like someone who has previous experience of delivering first-class customer service. This role gives you the opportunity to interact with people across the office, and it can get very busy so we need you to be able to juggle multiple tasks and organise your workload appropriately. It would be fantastic if you could bring experience of working within a corporate reception of a large professional services firm (or a 5 star hotel) but attitude, commitment and a client-focussed approach is far more important to us.

As a firm we're very hot on technology and constantly look to upgrade systems so you'll need excellent IT skills. We are also looking for a natural 'forward planner', who is highly organised and pays attention to detail.

What makes it great to work here?

We continually work hard to create an open culture that sets us apart from other firms. Our culture gives us much more of a human feel, emphasising that we're more than just suits! We like and make time for each other enabling us to establish professional relationships that can often become lasting friendships.

Through our D&I initiatives we create an environment in which difference is valued. We have a Diversity and Inclusion Group, led by our Board Sponsor, which works with our colleague networks (we currently have firm supported networks for race, ethnicity, and cultural heritage, LGBTQ+, disabilities, families, and women's career development and we're in constant dialogue with our people about how we expand our networks to better support everybody). We encourage applicants from all social backgrounds, ethnicities, disabilities, gender identities and sexual orientations.

As signatories to the Mindful Business Charter, it's important that our people are able to maintain healthy and happy lives, both in and out of work. We have a number of resources and initiatives designed to support health and wellbeing, including our team of dedicated mental health first aiders. We recognise that getting the right work life balance is a priority for all of us and we're very happy to talk flexible working, full-time or part-time working patterns. We also recognise the challenges of relocation and post-pandemic return to the office.

And that's not all, alongside a competitive salary you'll receive a flexible benefits package so you can choose and vary the benefits that matter most to you.
