Corporate Receptionist
Central Edinburgh based | onsite role
Various sporadic shifts available

Pay rate of £13.00 per hour + holiday pay

Search Consultancy are currently working with one of our Nationwide clients who are looking to bring in an experienced Receptionist to provide cover on a number of dates before the end of the year.

This will be a relatively basic Front of House & Administrator role, but will very likely lead to more work for the successful candidate from not only this client, but other clients in the area.

With the shifts being sporadic this role would be best suited to a "career temp" or a candidate who can make themselves available when required, but candidates on the market for permanent work or in-between roles will also be considered.

Duties involved in this role will include:
* Working on the front-desk Reception, providing excellent service to all visitors & staff entering the office
* Handling incoming calls, dealing with basic queries when they come in & transferring calls to the appropriate party
* Dealing with incoming & outgoing mail, parcels & couriers
* Ensuring that the Reception area is maintained & kept clean & tidy at all times
* Carrying out general administration duties for other departments when required
* Various other ad hoc Admin as required & directed

In order to be considered for this role your skills and experience should include:
* Previous experience in a Reception / Front of House role within a Corporate or Professional setting - this experience is essential!
* Solid general Administration experience
* Excellent interpersonal & communication skills, both written and verbal

If this is the role for you, apply now!

Please note that only applicants who have the required skills and experience detailed above will be considered for this role.

Search is an equal opportunities recruiter and we welcome applications from all suitably skilled or qualified applicants, regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/beliefs, sexual orientation or age
