We're also looking to find an individual who embodies the values and behaviours of our organisation to positively support all visitors of The Students' Union at UWE!

The receptionist will be a key point of contact for staff, students and any visitors into the Students Union to provide a positive experience/service.

On a day-to-day basis you will be opening and closing the premises as well as key duties including operational and administrative tasks to support the organisation.

During quieter months when visitor footfall is reduced this role will proactively seek tasks and duties to complete within the scope of the role.

You will also complete sales and cashing up procedures keeping reception financial reporting up to date.

A key part of the role will be ensuring the premises is kept to a high standard, including daily checks of spaces, reporting of maintenance issues, cleaning and re-setting spaces within The Students' Union building.
