Are you our next Exceptional Receptionaut?

Are you looking for a role where your colleagues are bright and engaged, the work is rewarding, and there's plenty of opportunity for progression? At Receptional, we love working with challenger brands that are changing the world. It means we're growing fast and looking for enthusiastic people to grow with us.

We're a 50-person digital agency based in the centre of Bedford - a diverse and friendly town, with excellent transport links to London and the north. Our purpose is to create Better People, Better Lives for three different groups:

1. Our people: We nurture our brilliant group of digital experts, and hire diverse people with potential and enable them to flourish. We invest in your development and wellbeing - and our culture is award-winning.
2. Our clients and industry: We create campaigns that engage customers, delivering industry-leading results. We contribute research and insights that drive change, and you'll often find us at awards and conferences.
3. Our community: We get involved in Bedfordshire life, recruiting and developing local talent and supporting local causes. Our Charity of the Year for 2022 is Wood Green The Animals Charity.

We follow a hybrid-working model, with 3 days in the office and 2 at home every week. Our office is modern and open plan - a great place to collaborate with our friendly and supportive team.

Our team focus means we're accredited as Investors in People and in 2022, we won:

• Luton & Bedfordshire Employer of the Year
• Best Culture Transformation at the UK Company Culture Awards
• Best Agency Culture (Silver) at the UK Agency Awards.
