About the position 

For our branch in Alkmaar , we are looking for a receptionist to provide temporary coverage during maternity leave.

As a receptionist, you are an important point of contact for our clients, visitors, and colleagues. You ensure that everyone is received in a welcoming and professional manner and that the daily operations of the office run smoothly.

Your duties are varied. In addition to handling the reception and telephone, you handle various administrative and facility tasks. You also deal with minor technical management and maintenance.

You will be involved in, among other things:

• telephone management and transferring incoming calls;
• receiving and hospitably guiding clients and other visitors;
• performing various administrative tasks;
• coordinating and performing facility management tasks;
• identifying and addressing practical matters within the office;
• minor technical management and maintenance.

Who are you?

We are looking for someone who is welcoming and presentable and enjoys ensuring that everything in the office is well organized. You switch easily between different tasks and see for yourself what needs to be done.

You are:

• hospitable, presentable and service-oriented;
• skilled in communication and pleasant to get along with;
• practically minded and not afraid to take initiative;
• accurate and organized;
• independent, but also someone who enjoys working with colleagues;
• flexible and able to switch gears quickly when necessary.

Experience as a receptionist or in a similar support role is a plus, but for us, it is at least as important that you fit well within the team.

What do we offer?

At Van Diepen van der Kroef we offer:

• An attractive, competitive benefits package, including a net telephone allowance, travel allowance, participation in our collective pension scheme, and free lunch. 

• An open, pleasant working environment and a flat organizational structure, in which a good balance is achieved between hard work and socializing (in all forms: from eating a sandwich together daily to drinks/dinners, sporting activities, office outings, and winter sports for those interested). 

• a healthy work-life balance 

• and of course: humor, fun, and bonding activities outside of work 

• a workplace in the heart Alkmaar on the Kennemerstraatweg 

At Van Diepen van der Kroef you can be who you are and we support you in your ambition!
