Part-time Receptionist

About the role

As a receptionist, you're the main admin contact for our students. For most of them you're the first person they talk to at Coucou. You welcome them, check them in, answer what you can, and point them to the right person on the team for the rest. The other half of the job is the space and the community. Students should feel welcome when they arrive, know where they're going, and find the school in good order. You'll work the desk with one other receptionist. This is an in-person only position that involves being on your feet for your shift and some heavy-lifting, such as moving boxes of course books (or wine!).
