Then THIS could be the perfect role for you!
Come and join the crew here at Clip ‘n Climb – Your award-winning ‘climbing centre meets theme park’ right here in Cambridge – as we are on the lookout for a new Receptionist.

You will a whizz at admin, great at written communication, and a friendly point of contact for our guests. You will be used to dealing with lots of information, and be able to order it in a way that your finger is always on the pulse! You will also be the main person answering questions and reviews online, so it’s great if you are used to using either Facebook or Instagram.
The Receptionist will also provide support to the FOH and Café Manager in our café, stock room and kitchen, and will be involved in ordering stock, food preparation, health and food safety, and serving in our café.

- A strong customer service background; this is a must - as is being someone with drive, ambition and enthusiasm to achieve.
- Excellent communication skills on the phone, in person and online
- Experience of using social media
