Job Introduction
Are you a people-focused professional who takes pride in delivering exceptional service? Do you thrive in a busy, varied role where no two days are the same?

This is a part-time position, working from our fantastic Leeds office on three set days each week: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

- Ensure a safe, secure and well-managed office environment by following and promoting all relevant policies, procedures and business rules.
- Build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders to maintain excellent service delivery and meet agreed SLAs.
- Provide comprehensive administrative and office support in alignment with operational KPIs and business standards.
- Support successful improvements in efficiency, quality and cost.
The Ideal Candidate
- A natural people person with confident, warm communication skills and a genuine commitment to outstanding customer service.
- Experience in hospitality, reception, customer service or office administration is welcome but not essential if you bring strong interpersonal skills.
- Confident using Microsoft Office and able to pick up new systems quickly.
- Highly organised, detail-focused and capable of managing a varied workload to tight deadlines.
- Adaptable, proactive and comfortable working in a continuously improving environment.
- Discreet and trustworthy, with experience handling confidential information appropriately.
If you’re looking for a role where you can make a meaningful contribution every day, supporting colleagues, enhancing Member experience and helping our organisation run smoothly, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and bring your positive energy, dedication and professionalism to our team.
