Part Time Space Ambassador

Overview

Post Covid, the working world has changed, with visitor and occupier experience at the heart of everything we do. Our Welcome Ambassadors are the first and last impression that people will have with our brand, and the brands of those we provide office space for. In order to attract and retain occupiers and top talent whilst enabling growth within a challenging market, our workplaces have become an ‘experience destination’ in themselves.

Increasing office utilisation is now firmly at the forefront of our client objectives, and our Workplace Experience roles are uniquely positioned to support desirable outcomes. Our ambition at Avison Young is simple – deliver a dynamic, market leading client solution that captures modernised needs, and drives enhanced engagement throughout the entire community in new and exciting ways. We are building for the future, and you will play a huge part in creating brand advocacy whilst delivering excellence for our clients.

Our Welcome Space Ambassadors are the first and last impression that people will have with our brand, and the brands of those Occupiers we represent. It is essential that a positive, memorable experience is delivered to all those walking through our doors. The opportunities available to us connect and engage with our customers in new and exciting ways outside of the traditional receptionist duties make our roles more attractive to those with a passion for service running through them.

Avison Young are seeking to create thriving spaces that welcome everybody; informal meetings, social meetings, networking, and relaxation spaces, and we want our Welcome Space Ambassadors to be the wow differentiator within them. The role is also key in supporting and promoting our client brand values.

You will be responsible for ensuring every building user is provided with an exceptional experience. This could be provided within a variety of ways and locations; however, this role will predominantly be based out within the lobby floor ready to receive, triage and support incoming customers.

You will own the space around you, demonstrating pride in its appearance. You will constantly seek and implement new ideas, initiatives, and facilities to create a community feel which provides encouragement to others to maximise use of the space. Where available, you will utilise technology to implement an efficient and effective check-in, support onward travel and provide an ongoing experience and community focused service solution, alongside your friendly, informative, and interactive delivery.

We want you to push the boundaries of the possible as you seek to provide the best-in-class user experience, always finding the hidden opportunity to surprise and delight our customers.

Our values are inherent to the success of this role. They are more than just words; they are the DNA that drives our culture and define how our people and services exceed expectations. Along with our Behaviours Playbook, they are our ways of working together, delivering for others and our all-round service ethos.
