This is a role that gives variety to your day, including helping to prepare and set up meeting rooms, managing post distribution, responding to building needs and acting as a point of contact for those working in the office.
Over the exam period you'll find yourself in a fast-paced environment, so it's important you have the ability to prioritise and work flexibly at pace, both independently and alongside the rest of the Workplace Team.
