Reception – Ad Hoc

The Orpheus Centre is a specialist further education college and charity working to support young disabled adults, who are passionate about the arts, to achieve their potential and lead independent lives.

Set up by musician and songwriter Sir Richard Stilgoe, Orpheus offers learning, supported housing and personal care on the same site in Godstone, Surrey.

Through volunteering with us you will gain a greater sense of purpose. You will be the first point of contact for people who are visiting or calling the centre. Our reception desk is run by a team of friendly volunteers who cover at least one shift per week. However, we still need help on reception for the times when our volunteers are away or unable to cover a shift due to sickness etc. As a receptionist you will assist with general tasks such as dealing with post, signing visitors in and out, monitoring reception emails and answering the telephone.

What skills do I need?

If you are someone who is reliable, an excellent communicator, have a friendly and enthusiastic personality and committed to helping, as well as being kind, caring and confident answering the telephone and using Microsoft Outlook & Word, then this could be the role for you.

You will have a mentor who will help and guide you when you first start volunteering at Orpheus.
