As the Front of House/Receptionist, you will ensure every visitor receives an outstanding welcome and a consistently high‑quality service.
Your new role
- Meeting and greeting visitors in a courteous, friendly, and professional manner.
- Maintaining tidy, attractive client areas; ensuring no delivery boxes are left out, flowers are fresh, plants watered, library organised, and cupboards closed.
- Providing refreshments for all meetings, ensuring correct numbers of cups/glasses, offering top‑ups during longer meetings, and maintaining consistent presentation standards.
- Ensuring stationery in all rooms is fully stocked and neatly arranged.
- Supporting post delivery/collection, including notifying fee earners, recording tracking codes, and coordinating with General Office.
- Assisting with scanning and copying documents during client meetings and supporting assistants, trainees, and paralegals as required.
- Answering telephones using the correct professional tone, taking names, and directing calls appropriately-often speaking with longstanding, elderly, or vulnerable clients.
- Supporting kitchen duties, including filling/unloading dishwashers and keeping areas tidy.

- Supporting business development events, including room setup, serving food/drinks, and clearing down (overtime provided for out‑of‑hours events).
- Booking parking for clients, staff, and suppliers.
What you'll need to succeed
- Impeccable personal presentation and professional appearance at all times.
- A formal, courteous, and respectful manner; friendly but not overly familiar.
- The ability to project efficiency and professionalism (no AirPods or personal mobile use in client areas).
- Absolute discretion - confidentiality is essential at all times.
- A proactive approach to staying busy, assisting fee earners, and keeping all areas in excellent order during quieter periods.
- Strong multitasking ability, especially on busy days.
- Confidence managing phones, visitors, refreshments, and administrative tasks simultaneously.
What you'll get in return
- The opportunity to represent a prestigious firm with longstanding, loyal clients.
- A polished, professional working environment with high standards and strong team support.
- Overtime payments for evening business development events.
- A varied role combining front‑of‑house, client service, and administrative support
