About Haringey

Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.

Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.

About the role

We’re looking for a proactive and customer-focused Concierge Officer to provide a welcoming and secure reception service for residents and visitors. You’ll act as the main point of contact, ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of the building, including monitoring access, managing visitor entry, and maintaining the safety and cleanliness of communal areas. The role also involves responding to emergencies, logging repairs, supporting residents with queries, and liaising with internal teams to resolve issues efficiently.

About the team

You’ll be part of the Estates and Neighbourhoods service within Housing and Building Safety, working closely with the Concierge Manager and Housing teams. The team is committed to creating safe, well-maintained, and inclusive communities for residents. Collaboration is key, and you’ll frequently interact with colleagues, residents, contractors, and external agencies to deliver a high-quality housing service and ensure residents feel supported and secure in their homes.

About you

You’re a confident communicator with strong interpersonal skills and a genuine passion for helping people. With experience working with the public—ideally in a reception, housing, or security environment—you’re organised, adaptable, and able to work independently, often during shift or unsocial hours. You’ll be comfortable using IT systems, handling a varied workload, and dealing calmly with challenging situations, including emergencies or anti-social behaviour. A commitment to equality, excellent customer service, and community wellbeing is essential for this role.
