• Proven front‑of‑house or office administration experience, ideally in a customer‑facing environment such as reception, hospitality, or a busy office setting.
• Excellent communication skills and a warm, professional, confident manner.
• Strong organisational ability and a keen eye for detail; you’re comfortable managing multiple tasks and priorities.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of your workload with minimal supervision.
• Good working knowledge of Excel, Word, and Microsoft Teams.
• A friendly, enthusiastic personality who enjoys working with people and takes pride in creating a welcoming, efficient environment.
