A prestigious global financial services firm is looking for a dedicated Receptionist / Office Coordinator to join their London office on a temp-to-perm basis.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is eager to build their career in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. While previous corporate office experience is welcomed, we're equally interested in individuals who bring strong common sense, a positive attitude, and a genuine willingness to take ownership of their work.

The firm is looking for someone who is proactive, reliable, and enjoys being the person others can depend on. This role is central to the smooth running of the office, so a friendly, approachable nature and a strong sense of responsibility are essential.

Hours: Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm
Salary: Up to £35,000 depending on experience
Location: City of London (full-time, office-based role)

What you'll do:

As the first point of contact for clients, guests, and colleagues, you'll play a vital role in ensuring the office runs smoothly and efficiently. Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing reception duties, including calls, visitors, deliveries, and post
• Coordinating meeting room bookings and maintaining a professional front-of-house area
• Organising food, beverage, and catering arrangements for meetings and events
• Supporting visiting employees with access, desk allocation, and logistics
• Monitoring office supplies and placing orders as needed
• Assisting with internal events and day-to-day office management tasks
• Handling ad-hoc administrative requests with accuracy, initiative, and care

Who you are:

You'll be someone who enjoys taking ownership of your responsibilities and doesn't wait to be asked before getting things done. You're naturally organised, approachable, and take pride in contributing to a positive and professional workplace.

• A proactive, positive attitude and a strong sense of accountability
• Comfortable working independently and managing your own workload
• Someone who uses initiative and good judgement to solve problems and keep things moving
• A reliable team player who is happy to roll up their sleeves and help wherever needed
• Excellent organisational and multitasking skills
• High attention to detail and accuracy in every task
• Clear, confident communication skills, both verbal and written
• A professional, friendly, and approachable manner with colleagues and visitors alike
• Strong work ethic, dependability, and pride in delivering high-quality work

Previous corporate or financial services experience is beneficial but not essential. The right attitude, strong common sense, and a willingness to learn are far more important. Familiarity with G Suite would be an advantage.

Benefits:

• Generous paid time off policies
• Savings plans and other financial wellness tools
• Free breakfast, lunch, and snacks daily
• In-office wellness experiences and reimbursement for select wellness expenses (e.g. gym, personal training and more)
• Company-sponsored sports teams and fitness events
• Volunteer opportunities and charitable giving
• Social events, happy hours, treats, and celebrations throughout the year
• Workshops and continuous learning opportunities
