Centre Receptionist

Established in 2002, Greenhouse Sports is a youth charity specifically using sport to support social change. Sport is our hook to engage young people and one of the vehicles through which we support youth development. But our purpose is not to create elite athletes or address physical inactivity. Rather, we create opportunities for young people to recognise their strengths and develop the skills they need to thrive both now and in the future.

We work across London, Portsmouth, and Leicester, specifically in areas of high deprivation.

We embed evidence-based positive youth development programmes into primary and secondary schools. These programmes are delivered by our trusted, high-quality coach-mentors who deliver year-roundto ensure that young people haveongoingaccess to sport, mentoring, enrichment, and employability activities. The result of this work is that every year, Greenhouse Sports support over 9,000 young people to attend school more often, improve their wellbeing, and raise their aspirations, transforming life chances in the communities that need us the most.

We’re looking for an organised, approachable individual with excellent communication skills and a passion for helping people. You’ll have experience in customer service or administration, and you’re confident using IT systems to manage bookings and enquiries.

Friendly and proactive, you’ll thrive in a busy environment and enjoy being part of a team that makes a real difference in the community. If you’re motivated by supporting others and want to be at the heart of a vibrant Centre, we’d love to hear from you.

Are you ready to be the welcoming face of our community hub? As Receptionist, you’ll be the first point of contact for visitors, partners, and young people, ensuring everyone feels valued and supported. This role is about creating a friendly, professional environment while providing exceptional front‑of‑house service.

Our Centre operates from 07:30 to 22:00 on weekdays

You’ll manage the reception area, handle enquiries, and assist with bookings and administrative tasks to keep the Centre running smoothly.
