About the Role
We are seeking a reliable and professional **Temporary Receptionist** to provide front desk coverage for a three-week period during team vacations. This is a great short-term opportunity for someone with prior office or reception experience who can quickly step in, learn processes, and confidently manage the front desk independently after initial training.
You will be the first point of contact for visitors and employees, ensuring a welcoming and organized office environment.
Key Responsibilities
* Manage the front desk and greet internal and external visitors
* Operate a multi-line switchboard and direct calls appropriately
* Liaise with building security and manage incoming/outgoing shipments
* Coordinate and manage boardroom bookings, including resolving scheduling conflicts
* Set up and take down meeting rooms as needed
* Handle photocopying, scanning, faxing, and general administrative support
* Maintain files and documentation
* Support general office operations to ensure smooth day-to-day functioning
Training will be provided during the first couple of days. After that, the successful candidate will be expected to manage responsibilities independently.
What We're Looking For
* Previous experience in a receptionist or office assistant role preferred
* Comfortable managing multiple phone lines (switchboard experience is an asset)
* Strong interpersonal and communication skills
* Professional, friendly, and confident front-facing presence
* Highly organized with strong attention to detail
* Ability to multitask and prioritize in a busy office environment
* Proactive and able to work independently after initial training
We are open to candidates who may be more junior but have relevant front-facing or office experience (e.g., part-time office roles, administrative support, customer-facing positions). A positive attitude and willingness to learn are key.
Why This Opportunity?
* Short-term contract ideal for candidates between roles or on a school break
* Exposure to a professional office environment
* Opportunity to build administrative and reception experience
If you're available from March 5–27 and ready to step into a dynamic office environment, we'd love to hear from you. Hourly rate would range from $22 to $28 depending on the experience with some flexibility for a higher rate.
