About the Client:

One of VWA's clients, a private family office based in central London, are looking for a temporary Office Administrator/Receptionist to join them on a standalone basis. The office is currently relocating to a brand-new space, and this is a great opportunity to be the first face of a small, professional and fast-paced environment.

About the Role:

This is a standalone Office Administrator/Receptionist role, ideal for someone who can hit the ground running with minimal handholding, particularly given the office is mid-move.

• Meeting and greeting visitors, liaising with the building's reception team downstairs
• Preparing next-day meeting schedules and assigning meeting rooms
• Keeping the kitchen and meeting rooms tidy and reset throughout the day
• Managing the office grocery/shop order
• Handling general office enquiries
• Providing event support, working alongside one of the EAs
• Providing ad hoc travel support where needed

Candidate Specification:

• Previous experience in a reception or office admin role, ideally within financial services or a family office
• Experience working in a small, professional office environment
• Confident, energetic and personable - comfortable being the "first face" of the office
• Able to read the room and use initiative without being told what to do
• Able to hit the ground running with minimal training

Additional Information:

• Start date on or around 27th October
• Core hours 08:30-17:30/18:00, with some flexibility required for occasional later finishes
• Likely duration of 2-4 months
• Cover required up to approximately 21st/22nd December, resuming 4th January
• Fully office based, five days a week
• Up to £23p/h + holiday pay, dependent on experience
