Studio Assistant / Receptionist
Administration | London | Full Time | From GBP £30,800 per year
Grimshaw is a global architecture and design studio founded in 1980, with offices across London, New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Dubai, Melbourne, and Sydney. Driven by a desire to create lasting, meaningful design, we've earned over 200 international awards and a reputation for work that brings real value to the people who use it.
We're looking for a proactive, organised Studio Assistant to help keep our London studio running smoothly. Day to day, you'll support Facilities and Front-of-House operations — maintaining a well-stocked and presentable environment, covering reception, coordinating equipment for starters and leavers, carrying out compliance checks, managing supplies, and supporting meeting room setup and helpdesk requests.
You will bring:
- Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail
- Confidence using Microsoft Office, including Outlook, Excel, and Word
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach — taking ownership rather than waiting to be asked
- Clear, professional communication skills and good judgement about when to escalate
- A basic understanding of health and safety principles, or a willingness to develop this
- Willingness to undertake first aid, fire warden, and food hygiene training if not already held
What we offer
- Salary of £30,800
- Generous benefits
Hours: Mon–Thu 10.30am–7pm | Fri 9.30am–6pm | Five days on-site
