The Opportunity

Thompson & Terry Recruitment are proud to be working alongside our award-winning and rapidly expanding commercial property client to recruit a Receptionist to support the growth of their Abingdon-based business centre.

As Receptionist, you will be responsible for welcoming all tenants and visitors to the centre, handling inbound calls and emails and transferring/passing on messages where relevant, booking meeting rooms for clients and other general administration. It is really important for this role that the successful candidate breeds enthusiasm and confidence and can greet everyone with a smile!

This Abingdon based job is an excellent mix of reception duties, customer service, and administration so it would be really well suited to a candidate who has previous experience working in a customer or client-facing role.

It is vital for this role that the successful candidate is able to work independently and think on their feet but is also resilient to change as the role will also include working closely with the Business Centre Manager and stepping up in their absence, therefore, great communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively are also important.

Additionally, company culture is really important to our client and so they often organise regular social events for the entire company and within the centre too!

Our client provide tons of benefits including a competitive holiday allowance with 25 days plus all Bank Holidays and three additional days off paid leave over the Christmas period. Additionally, they provide healthcare plans for all employees, shopping cashback schemes, gym discounts and cycle-to-work programmes!
