Do you want to work for a global professional membership organisation where you will be able to see the tangible impact of your work on the world we all live in? If so, this could be the organisation for you. Our client is at the heart of a management career in construction.

They are the world's largest and most influential professional body for construction management and leadership, and their members work worldwide in the development, conservation and improvement of the built environment. Perhaps most importantly, they are tasked with promoting good practice within their industry to improve quality of life for every one of us.

Due to an internal transfer, they are now looking for a Receptionist / Administrator to provide an efficient and professional front of house service to their Head Quarters in Bracknell. The role also requires administration support to the Head of Technical Practice and the Governance team.

Your morning will be spent as their Receptionist; answering, screening and forwarding incoming calls and dealing with any queries on the phone or at the desk accordingly. You will greet and welcome guests on arrival, work with colleagues to ensure visitors are introduced or directed to the appropriate person or meeting room and ensure the reception area is presentable and tidy at all times. You will also act as first line contact with Building Reception and Security and co-ordinate the use of couriers for office and hub staff.

Your afternoon will be spent providing administration support to the Head of Technical Practice and the Governance team; arranging travel and accommodation, updating calendars and scheduling meetings along with arranging and administering faculty suppliers. You will also administer expenses, purchase orders and invoices for the team as requested and complete project administration linked to key projects within the team.

They are looking for a confident and detail orientated individual who has the ability to take initiative, be resourceful and take a pro-active approach to their work. They’ll need you to be IT literate, with proficiency in Microsoft Office, and have demonstrable professional telephone skills for both incoming and outgoing calls. With excellent organisational and communication skills, you will have the ability to learn new skills, be flexible and be willing to perform a variety of tasks.
