Role Overview

As a Receptionist at G4S, you'll be a key part of our security team based at EDF Energy, ensuring that all visitors / clients are welcomed in a professional manner, ensuring the premises security whilst providing excellent customer service with a smile. You'll be the first person visitors meet on arrival so this role is key to creating a professional and friendly atmosphere - from ensuring the reception area is presentable, to assisting with refreshments and ensuring requests are dealt with in a timely manner. We pride ourselves on delivering excellent customer service in a safe and secure environment.

It's a varied role where no two days will be the same. You'll be handling incoming phone calls and managing the switchboard, through to coordinating meeting room booking and arranging hospitality services where required.

With a keen eye for detail and a brilliant way with people, you could look forward to an interesting role with exciting career opportunities.

This role will follow a 4 on 4 off shift pattern on the day shift. It is a requirement that you have a full UK manual driviing licence as you will be driving a site vehicle for patrols.

A good IT knowledge and attention to detail is also essential for this role. Strong communication skills are essential, with the ability to deal with difficult situations in a calm and effective way whilst demonstrating empathy and sensitivity.

You must be flexible and available to work on a varied shift pattern which could include days, nights and weekends.

Join G4S and you can also enjoy real career progression with a large international company - as the world's leading provider of security solutions, we offer loads of training and support.
