As a Recreation Receptionist, you will perform a variety of clerical and cashiering tasks including handling program registration, answering telephone and in-person inquiries, maintaining filing systems, typing correspondence, processing payments and refunds, and preparing daily deposits. You will also provide administrative support to facility staff and ensure smooth communication between departments and the public.
Requirements include completion of Grade 12 or equivalent, and a minimum of six months of experience working in an administrative office setting with reception counter experience. Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite is essential. An equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered. The successful candidate must be comfortable working independently at the front desk and have strong communication and customer service skills.
