Part-time Receptionist

Coucou is a French language school for adults, with in-person classes at our Soho location and online classes. Over the past decade we've built our own teaching method and a real community around it, along with cultural workshops and events, and 6pm in Paris, its digital platform for cinematic, on-demand French learning. We are united by the mission to make language learning part of everyday life, something people do for joy, curiosity, and connection the way they read, travel, or cook. We strongly believe that learning French isn't the end goal here, but the vehicle to something bigger: confidence, connection, and a richer life. About the role As a receptionist, you're the main admin contact for our students. For most of them you're the first person they talk to at Coucou. You welcome them, check them in, answer what you can, and point them to the right person on the team for the rest. The other half of the job is the space and the community. Students should feel welcome when they arrive, know where they're going, and find the school in good order. You'll work the desk with one other receptionist. This is an in-person only position that involves being on your feet for your shift and some heavy-lifting, such as moving boxes of course books (or wine!).
