We are a professional and personable team, working in a very challenging and busy environment, which makes the role varied, interesting, and no day is ever the same!

Day-to-day duties of the role will include:


  • Answering the phones and dealing with clients' requests and queries
  • Greeting clients, booking appointments and arrivals using a computerised diary
