We seek a Receptionist to provide an efficient reception and switchboard service for the National Park Authority.

We are looking for someone who is able to prioritise their own workload and provide a welcoming, helpful and efficient reception service for visitors to the Authority.  You will possess excellent inter-personal and communication skills, being able to liaise with people at all levels. Unexpected issues will arise so the ability to use your own initiative is essential.

You will also have a good general education to GCSE Level or equivalent or comparable in terms of experience. Previous office-based experience is not essential but you must have good ICT skills with knowledge of current systems including Outlook.

This post is based at the Authority’s interim headquarters near Lymington.
