Receptionist jobs require excellent communication skills, as well as the ability to multitask and stay organised. Receptionists may be called upon to handle various tasks simultaneously, often with tight deadlines. They also have strong problem-solving skills and can think on their feet. Experience with office management software and technologies, such as spreadsheet and word processing programs, can also be helpful.

There are many opportunities for advancement and career development for Receptionists. With experience, you can move up to higher-level management positions or take on more responsibilities within your current role. In fact, the Receptionist role can often be combined with that of an Executive Assistant or Office Manager position. If you are seeking an exciting and challenging career that allows you to make a real difference in the success of a company, a job as a Receptionist may be the perfect fit for you.

FAQs

How much can I earn as a Receptionist?

Receptionists play a crucial role in not only the first impressions but also the smooth running of a business.

The average salary for a Receptionist varies depending on a number of factors, including the size of the company, the industry in which it operates, and the office's location.

Salaries can range widely for Receptionists, with some earning £25,000 per annum and others earning over £40,000 per annum. Factors that can impact a Receptionist's salary include their level of experience, as well as the specific duties and responsibilities they handle. It's also worth noting that if a Personal Assistant is based at the reception desk, they will be paid a PA salary.

In Manchester, a Junior Receptionist can typically expect to earn between £21,000 per annum - £25,000 per annum and a Senior Receptionist £28,000 - 35,000 per annum. It's worth noting that Manchester Receptionist salaries depend on the role, industry and level of experience required. In London, a Junior Receptionist can expect to earn £25,000 per annum - £32,000 per annum, depending on the same factors. A Senior Receptionist in London can expect to be paid between 30,000 - 37,000 per annum. We often find that the larger salaries will reflect a role that is for a large business or has an element of Personal Assistant duties too.

In addition to a competitive salary, Receptionists will often receive benefits such as private medical insurance, discretionary bonuses and more. As a Receptionist, you can expect to work regular business hours, although some overtime may be required during busy periods.
