Role

We have an exciting opportunity for a Receptionist to join our Head Office Team located at Granton Square, Edinburgh. 

Autism Initiatives works positively alongside autistic people, their families and carers to provide specialist services tailored to each individual. 

Our head office building is shared with our Edinburgh Outreach services, creating a closely connected working environment. As Receptionist you will act as the first point of contact, providing a friendly and professional service to all callers and visitors. You will undertake a variety of administrative duties to support the smooth and efficient operation of Head Office Scotland. Please refer to the job description for further detail.   

This role is delivered as a job share between two post holders. Working days for this post will be Monday to Wednesday, with fixed working hours of 8.30 am – 4.30 pm. 

Benefits of working with us include:

• 31 days pro rata Annual Leave, including Bank holidays 
• Your birthday off every year, to treat yourself!
• Auto-enrolment pension scheme
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Medicash Healthcare Plan
• Eligibility to become a Blue Light Card Member for online & high street discounts

Ideally you will have a working knowledge of reception duties including Microsoft Office packages. At times you will be dealing with multiple callers and visitors therefore you must be able to adapt your communication style and use your own initiative to problem solve. You must also appreciate the need to respect the confidentiality of individuals and their information. 

The successful candidate will be required to apply for a Level 1 Disclosure check from Disclosure Scotland. Autism Initiatives will cover the cost of the application.
