Receptionist | Leading Private Equity Firm | Temp to Contract | Immediate Start

Are you a calm, confident Receptionist who thrives in a fast‑paced office and is looking for a long‑term role? 

A leading private equity firm is seeking a professional, polished Receptionist to join their front‑of‑house team on a temp‑to‑contract basis. This opportunity would suit someone immediately available, reliable, and genuinely looking for a long‑term position rather than short‑term temp work.

You will be the sole face of reception, making this an ideal role for someone confident running a busy front desk independently while staying calm and professional when priorities shift.

Key Responsibilities

• Acting as the first point of contact for clients, senior stakeholders and visitors
• Coordinating meeting rooms, setups, turnarounds and catering
• Managing visitor passes and maintaining accurate visitor logs
• Overseeing incoming and outgoing post and arranging couriers
• Supporting document preparation (printing, scanning, binding)
• Ensuring reception, pantry and meeting spaces are organised and presentable at all times
• Monitoring office supplies and placing orders as needed
• Providing ad‑hoc support to internal teams and guests

Skills & Experience

• Previous experience in a professional office environment (financial services or similar beneficial)
• Fully comfortable managing reception solo in a busy office
• Excellent Microsoft Office skills
• Calm, adaptable and unflappable when things change at short notice
• Strong attention to detail and a proactive mindset
• Polished presentation and strong client‑service approach

Why Apply?

• Temp‑to‑contract opportunity with genuine long‑term potential
• Exposure to a high‑performing, professional private equity environment
• Ideal for someone seeking stability and progression rather than short‑term temp work

If you’re immediately available, highly organised and enjoy being the dependable hub of a busy office, this could be the perfect next step.
