You will provide a warm and professional welcome to everyone who enters the study centre, and ensure that all initial queries are handled with the utmost care and attention.

Your role will also involve working closely with the Head of Centre Operation to ensure that all facilities-related issues are addressed promptly and efficiently, so that students and staff can focus on their studies and work without any interruptions. This is a crucial 'front of house' role that requires excellent communication and organisational skills, as well as a genuine passion for creating a positive and welcoming environment.
