We are working with blue-chip organisation in the West End who are looking for an experienced corporate receptionist to provide support when their receptionist is on holiday in 2026.  This is the ideal job for someone who would like ad hoc work but isn’t looking for a full-time position.

In this client facing position, you will be the face of the business and ensure the front-of-house function runs smoothly, providing a warm welcome to clients and visitors.

On a day-to-day basis you’ll be involved with:

• Meet and greet and booking in visitors
• Taking incoming calls
• Organising couriers, post and deliveries
• Ordering taxis, booking carpark spaces
• Maintaining the reception area
• Booking meeting space and ensuring they are set up
• Updating key data using Word Excel
• Assisting with onsite events
• Ensuring Health and safety compliance
• Assisting with administration tasks and supporting any facilities-based projects.

This position will be 100% based within the office, which is within walking distance of Oxford Circus, Tottenham Court and Bond Street stations.  For this opportunity, you’ll need to have at least two years recent reception experience within a corporate environment, along with strong MS Office skills (Word and Excel being essential), and ideally you’ll have a H&S qualification such as fire warden, first aider or NEBOSH.

This role pays £15-18.00 per hour plus holiday pay £ 1.81 – 2.17 per hour, dependent on skills and experience.  If this temporary post could be right for you please submit your CV ASAP.
