Receptionist Administrator-12 month contract

Receptionist/Administrator-12 month Fixed Term Contract

Be the welcoming face of our head office and keep everything running smoothly.

About Us

At Company Shop Group (CSG), part of Biffa, we’re the UK’s largest commercial redistributor of surplus food and household products. Every year, we help some of the biggest retailers, manufacturers, and logistics providers unlock value from surplus stock that might otherwise go to waste.

That stock is given a second life through our Company Shop stores and our award-winning social enterprise Community Shop, where we help build stronger individuals and more confident communities. We’re a good business doing good — and people are at the heart of everything we do.

We champion diversity, inclusion, and different perspectives, knowing that fresh ideas make us stronger and more creative.

• Stay Close to the Action – Be present, listen, and act with real-time insight
• Act Like It’s Your Business – Take ownership, raise standards, and always find better ways to do things

Why Join Us?

Here, you’re more than a receptionist — you’re the heartbeat of our head office. You’ll join a supportive, friendly team where your role is valued, your ideas are heard, and your contribution truly makes a difference.
