  • Carry out regular health and safety checks in line with firm procedures
  • Respond to day-to-day requests from colleagues and visitors in a proactive and solutions-focused way

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

  • Confident managing meeting rooms, hospitality and basic audio-visual equipment
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise tasks and manage a varied workload
