Events Coordinator (Events + Catering + Reception Support) (Ref: 006976)

We are recruiting an Events Coordinator for a prestigious financial services organisation in London. This is an exciting opportunity to join a highly professional Corporate Real Estate team responsible for Hospitality, Events, Facilities, and Workplace Experience.

This role requires a unique blend of Events, Catering, Reception and Customer Service support. It would suit a bright graduate with approximately 3 years’ experience who is looking to develop within corporate events long term.

The Role

You will work closely with the Events Manager, taking ownership of food and beverage coordination, assisting with event delivery, and providing reception cover when required.

• Demonstrable catering experience (essential).

• Experience in reception or front-of-house roles, with confidence providing cover.

• Strong customer service ethos and genuine passion for hospitality.

• Comfortable working flexibly and picking up varied responsibilities.

• Organised, proactive, and calm under pressure.

• Impeccable presentation and communication skills.
