ROLE: Part-Time Receptionist (Maternity Cover)

LOCATION: Scunthorpe

SALARY: Competitive based on experience

HOURS: 9am – 5.15pm - 3 Days per week (ideally Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday)

BENEFITS: 

  • 33 days of annual leave (inclusive of bank and public holidays)
  • Your birthday off (if falling in the working week)
  • Continuous opportunities for professional development and training to support your long-term career growth.

We are looking for a Part‑Time Receptionist to join our Scunthorpe office on a maternity‑cover basis. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys being front of house, and takes pride in delivering a friendly, professional experience both in person and over the phone.

You will be the welcoming face of the branch, providing front‑of‑house support and helping our small, supportive team keep things running efficiently day‑to‑day

This reception environment requires you to work independently for much of the time, making confidence, reliability and a proactive approach key. Your responsibilities will include but are not limited to:         

  • Greeting clients and visitors with a friendly, professional approach
  • Handling calls for the Scunthorpe office and wider office network
  • Managing meeting room bookings and ensuring rooms are prepared
  • Supporting departments with administrative tasks
  • Managing post, scanning and general front‑of‑house duties    
     

You will be ideal for this position if you:  

  • Provide exceptional client service, in person and on the phone
  • Have a friendly, approachable and positive manner
  • Can work independently in a quiet reception setting
  • Are organised, reliable and able to support multiple teams     
     

Previous reception or administrative experience is helpful, but not essential as full support and training will be provided.

You will be part of a supportive firm known for its inclusive culture, strong community values and commitment to staff wellbeing and development. We pride ourselves on being a welcoming place to work, where every role makes a meaningful contribution.
