The posting

At Retirement Villages Group, we create vibrant communities where people can live well, stay independent and feel connected. We are looking for a friendly and organised Administrator / Receptionist to join our team at Debden Grange, our beautiful retirement village in Saffron Walden. This is a part-time position working 24 hours per week, Tuesday to Friday, 9.30am to 3.30pm.

As the first point of contact for residents, visitors and contractors, you'll play a key role in creating a warm welcome while providing essential administrative support to the village team. If you enjoy building relationships, staying organised and helping a community thrive, we'd love to hear from you.

About the role

This is a varied role that combines front-of-house responsibilities with administrative support. You'll be at the heart of village life, ensuring residents and visitors receive an exceptional experience while helping to keep day-to-day operations running smoothly.

What you'll be doing

  • Providing a professional, warm and welcoming reception service for residents, visitors and contractors.
  • Greeting guests, managing enquiries and directing visitors appropriately.
  • Answering and transferring telephone calls in a professional manner.
  • Managing guest suite, meeting room and village space bookings.
  • Maintaining visitor records, site directories and village communications.
  • Supporting building security procedures and ensuring access protocols are followed.
  • Assisting with payroll administration, timesheets and payroll-related enquiries.
  • Maintaining accurate records and administrative systems.
  • Providing general administrative support to the General Manager and wider village team.
  • Supporting health and safety procedures, including emergency and evacuation processes.
  • Helping maintain a safe, tidy and welcoming reception environment at all times.

About you

You'll be an organised, approachable and customer-focused individual who enjoys working with people and can confidently manage a busy and varied workload.

We're looking for someone with:

  • Previous administration and/or reception experience.
  • Excellent customer service and communication skills.
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
  • Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office.
  • The ability to prioritise tasks and work independently.
  • A proactive and positive attitude.
  • Experience supporting payroll administration would be advantageous, but is not essential.

Why join RVG?

At Retirement Villages Group, you'll be part of a team that genuinely makes a difference to people's lives. Every day you'll contribute to creating a welcoming, supportive environment where our residents can live independently and age well.

Our values guide everything we do:

Age Well – We create a world where everyone has the opportunity to age well.

Community – We believe in the power of community.

Keep Improving – We get things done and find ways to keep improving.

Invest Wisely – We treat every penny as if it were our own.

Planet Positive – We recognise the climate emergency and work hard to have a positive impact on the planet.

One Team – We support one another, learn together and celebrate success together.

Are looking for a rewarding role in a vibrant village community where no two days are the same, we'd love to hear from you.

Join Debden Grange and help create a place where people can age well, stay connected and truly feel at home!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
