Are you a warm, unflappable people-person who loves being the face of a busy office and keeping everything running like clockwork - and available now for a short, fixed-term stint?

Culture Guru is recruiting a confident, organised Reception Administrator to provide holiday cover for a well-established construction and fit-out business. This is a temporary role for September, October, and November to keep the busy head office running smoothly while a key team member is away.

It would suit someone available immediately for temporary work who can hit the ground running: greeting clients, project teams and contractors with a smile, taking genuine pride in a tidy, well-run office, and juggling reception duties alongside varied business administration without dropping a ball - the person everyone can rely on from day one.

The wider team is already in place, so your focus is purely on what you do best for the duration of the cover: running a seamless front-of-house and keeping the office humming. Please note this is a fully office-based, temporary role, five days a week, with no hybrid or remote working.
