Oxford, United Kingdom Exeter College, Oxford Full time

Exeter College is one of the oldest colleges within the University of Oxford, with two residential sites in central Oxford.

These are busy premises, which (in addition to being student residences) host many of the College’s meetings, as well as commercial conferences and summer schools, and private dinners and events. The College is therefore, a vibrant and exciting place to work, and the Lodge Receptionist team is key to providing a professional, customer-focused and welcoming service to all students, staff and visitors.

This is a busy, customer-facing role, and it is therefore essential that you have excellent verbal communication skills, and a naturally friendly and helpful nature. You should also be hands-on in approach, with the ability to manage a varied workload under mínimal supervision, and a willingness to work flexibly and collaboratively as part of the wider team. Experience in a busy, customer-facing role is essential, whilst experience of working night shifts in a similar residential environment would be an advantage but is not essential.

The salary will be within a range £25,696 - £29,039 per annum. In addition, the College offers a range of benefits including a generous annual leave allowance, access to contributory pension scheme and discounted healthcare/ dental schemes, and season ticket loans for travel.
