Job Description: Evening Part Time Receptionist
Our client, a respected and busy professional services firm in Oldham, is seeking a reliable and polished Evening Part Time Receptionist to manage their front-of-house operations during key evening hours. This role is crucial for maintaining a welcoming, efficient, and secure environment for clients, visitors, and staff working late. It’s an ideal position for someone who thrives in a customer-facing role, enjoys variety, and takes pride in providing exceptional administrative support.
By applying through Staffing Service, you gain access to our streamlined registration process and the support of a dedicated local consultant. We specialise in connecting talented individuals with quality roles across Oldham and the wider region, from Dinner Lady roles in Exeter (EX18) to Event Cleaners in Cambridge (CB6). We understand the local job market and are committed to finding the right fit for both candidate and client, using insights from resources like our Candidate Screening Strategies guide to ensure successful placements.
Key Responsibilities & Duties
As the first point of contact in the evenings, you will be the face of the organisation. Your duties will be varied, requiring excellent organisational skills and a calm, professional demeanour.
- Front Desk Management: Professionally greet all visitors, clients, and contractors, ensuring a positive first impression. Manage sign-in/sign-out procedures and issue visitor badges in line with security protocols.
- Communication Hub: Answer, screen, and forward incoming telephone calls promptly and courteously. Take accurate messages and manage the main switchboard. Handle general email enquiries directed to the reception inbox.
- Administrative Support: Provide vital support to evening staff, including managing post and courier collections, preparing meeting rooms, and assisting with basic photocopying, scanning, and filing tasks.
- Facilities & Security: Monitor the reception area and main entrance, ensuring it remains tidy, secure, and presentable. Be the key contact for any building or facilities issues that arise during your shift, liaising with security or maintenance as required.
- Client & Staff Liaison: Coordinate taxi bookings for staff and clients, manage refreshments for late meetings, and provide clear directions and information to visitors about the building and local amenities.
