BRITISH HIGH COMMISSIONABUJA
PART-TIME VACANCY
The British High Commission (BHC) Abuja has the following part-time vacancy in its Chancery Section.
Position: LE IV Part-time Receptionist
General
The British High Commission requires a Receptionist to work in its busy Chancery building. This will be a part-time position and the successful candidate will be required to work a minimum of 25 hours per week. Duties will include:
• Receiving, transferring and making local and international calls for members of staff
• Receiving incoming visitors
• Administering incoming mail
• Ensuring the High Commission entrance area is well presented
• Other administrative tasks on request
• Providing leave cover for other receptionists in the High Commission
Qualities needed
We are looking for a reliable, courteous person with excellent inter-personal and communication skills. The ability to speak clear, concise English is very important and will be tested at interview. Previous receptionist experience is desirable. Occasional late working may be required.
The successful candidate will need to be computer literate, with a good working knowledge of Microsoft Word and Outlook.
This is a part-time position working in conjunction with an already established receptionist, ensuring cover is provided for a busy reception area, from 0745 to 1700hrs daily. A shift system operates alternating between morning and afternoons. The job will be graded LE IV part-time receptionist with a monthly starting salary of N117,913.00, including pro-rata leave and allowances. Successful candidates who are not liable to pay Nigerian tax will be subject to a 10% notional tax deduction on the basic salary. The salary will be paid in Naira. There will be occasional additional hours to work (such as cover for leave or sickness of the other receptionist), which will attract additional salary. Flexibility is therefore critical.
Staff recruited locally by the British High in Abuja are subject to terms and conditions of service according to local Nigerian employment law.
