Relief Lodge Receptionist - Oxford, United Kingdom - Exeter College, Oxford
Description
Exeter College is one of the oldest colleges within the University of Oxford, with two residential sites in central Oxford.
These are busy premises, which (in addition to being student residences) host many of the College's meetings, as well as commercial conferences and summer schools, and private dinners and events.
The College is therefore, a vibrant and exciting place to work, and the Lodge Receptionist team is key to providing a professional, customer-focused and welcoming service to all students, staff and visitors.

welcoming guests and dealing with enquiries (in-person and by phone); handling check-in/ check-out procedures (including issuing room keys); overseeing the safety and security of the sites at night; acting as a first point of contact in emergencies; taking payments; and booking rooms on the Kinetics database.
This is a busy, customer-facing role, and it is therefore essential that you have excellent verbal communication skills, and a naturally friendly and helpful nature.
