Receptionist jobs in Wiltshire

This is so much more than a reception job.

We’re looking for a calm, capable, mature individual who can keep the wheels turning smoothly day-to-day while staying one step ahead of potential challenges. You’ll be the first face people see—and the go-to person for keeping our salon organised, efficient, and welcoming.

If you’re someone with strong problem-solving instincts, peripheral awareness, and a natural flair for technology and logistics, this could be your perfect next step.

You’ll work closely with our Salon Manager and Business Manager as a key part of the management team, supporting both the team and our clients with confidence and care.

It takes a while to train for this job so we're looking for someone who is committed for a decent amount of time. You need to be available all year (no term-time options). The days will be mostly fixed, with some additional cover required when the Manager is away.

What You’ll Bring:

• Strong Apple Mac skills – confident using Microsoft Word, Excel, and navigating the Mac OS
• A problem-solving mindset – you're someone who spots issues early and can think ahead to find smooth solutions. The light bulb isn't working, so you change it, sort of thing.
• Strong social media knowledge and skills
• Scheduling and time management skills – you love a plan, keep things on track, and know how to prioritise
• Comfort with numbers – solid maths skills to handle bookings, reporting, and general front-of-house logistics
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills – able to interact professionally at all levels
• Previous receptionist or customer service experience
• Highly organised with a sharp eye for detail – able to multitask and stay methodical under pressure
• A genuine team player who also shines working independently
• Ideally, experience in a hair or beauty environment
• Familiarity with online booking systems
• Strong and accurate writing skills
• Well presented, friendly, with a warm sense of humour
• Kind, considerate and emotionally intelligent

The Role:

• Part-time (32 days per week) but flexible to cover other staff members' holidays
• Mostly fixed shifts
• Some flexibility is required to cover team holidays
• You'll be the central hub for team coordination and client care
• A fantastic opportunity for someone looking to grow their management experience in a nurturing, stylish, and fast-paced setting

If you're someone who brings clarity to chaos, thrives on making things run like clockwork, and loves working in a creative environment — we’d love to hear from you.
