What you will do:
As the first point of contact for visitors and callers, you will manage the front desk, receive and direct incoming calls, handle incoming and outgoing mail, and maintain the reception area. The role extends to scheduling meetings, managing conference room bookings, and coordinating travel arrangements for senior staff. You will also maintain office supply inventories, place orders when stocks run low, and liaise with vendors for office equipment maintenance and repairs. Document management is a significant part of the job, including filing, scanning, archiving, and retrieving records as needed. You will support the HR department with onboarding logistics for new hires, such as preparing workstations and distributing welcome packs. The position requires someone who is organised, presentable, and able to handle multiple tasks simultaneously without losing track of details.
