Are You the Person Who Keeps Everything Running Smoothly?

You know the type. The person who remembers the details, keeps everyone organized, greets people with a smile, and somehow manages to answer the phone, find the missing paperwork, and keep the office moving without missing a beat.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to talk!

Datrose is hiring a Receptionist / Administrative Assistant to support a professional counseling services office in Buffalo, NY.

This isn't just about answering phones and filing paperwork. You'll be one of the first people participants interact with, helping create a welcoming, organized environment while supporting the administrative work that allows counseling staff to focus on the individuals they serve.

If you enjoy helping people, take pride in getting the details right, and like a workday with a little variety, this could be a great fit.

What Will You Actually Be Doing?

Every day will bring a mix of people, paperwork, and priorities. You'll be helping keep the office organized and making sure participants and staff have the support they need.

Be the welcoming first impression.

• Greet visitors and participants with professionalism and kindness.
• Answer incoming calls, respond to general questions, and direct inquiries to the appropriate staff.
• Help verify appointments and maintain an organized reception area.

Keep the details on track.

• Enter and update participant information accurately.

• Organize electronic and paper files, maintain documentation, and help prepare service authorizations.

Keep the office moving.

• Prepare and send emails, letters, and other correspondence.
• Process incoming and outgoing mail.
• Help monitor office supplies and keep administrative materials organized.
• Balance competing priorities while meeting deadlines and protecting confidential information.

What We're Looking For

You don't need to know everything about counseling services to succeed here. What matters is that you're dependable, professional, organized, and comfortable learning office processes.

You'll be a strong candidate if you have:

• Reception, customer service, clerical, or administrative experience.
• Strong communication skills and a friendly, professional telephone manner.
• Basic computer proficiency, including email, data entry, and electronic document management.
• Excellent attention to detail, especially when working with sensitive records.
• The ability to manage multiple tasks without losing track of important details.
• Good judgment and discretion when handling confidential information.
• A willingness to jump in, help your coworkers, and contribute to a positive office environment.

You Might Be a Great Fit If...

• You're naturally organized and notice when something needs attention.
• You genuinely enjoy helping people, even when they're having a difficult day.
• You're comfortable switching between answering phones, assisting visitors, and completing administrative work.
• You understand that accuracy matters just as much as speed.
• You can be friendly and approachable while maintaining professional boundaries.
• You take pride in being someone your team can count on.

We're not looking for someone who simply sits at the front desk. We're looking for someone who helps make the entire office work better.
