About the Role
We're looking for a confident, friendly and proactive full-time Receptionist to join our Client Care team based in Newcastle.

Keep the office tidy and organised




Run occasional errands (post office, groceries, etc.)
Communicate with clients via phone and email

Communicates clearly — both verbally and in writing
Has a polite, friendly and professional manner
