The Sadie Centre is a flourishing charity with a national reputation as a centre of excellence, providing a wide range of interventions which enhance health and wellbeing. Based on a peaceful 8 ½ acre greenbelt site between Hitchin and Letchworth, it offers a unique environment in which to work - one which is un-corporate yet professional. Receptionists play a key role in welcoming clients and in guiding them to the Centre’s many services.

The position would ideally suit someone with a keen interest in complementary approaches to health and in sharing that interest with others. It requires someone enthusiastic, confident and open to learning; someone flexible and able, and when necessary, to provide sickness and holiday cover for colleagues.
