Located on the outskirts of Peterborough, we enjoy the convenience and excellent transport links of the city while embracing the idyllic country lifestyle. The historic town of Stamford, home to the famous Burghley Horse Trials, is less than half an hour away, offering the perfect blend of necessity and luxury.

As a Receptionist, you will be the first point of contact for clients, playing a key role in delivering a welcoming, professional and compassionate experience at every interaction.
