A great part-time role for someone with a creative life outside of work
Are you a freelancer, artist, writer, designer or creative professional looking for a part-time role (5 hours a day, in the office 5 days a week) that gives you a reliable income while leaving plenty of time for your own work?
This could be the perfect fit!
We are working with a friendly, established architectural practice in Clapham looking for a warm, organised and proactive Office Manager / Front of House to join their small and welcoming team.

- Building your career as an artist or illustrator
- A freelance writer or journalist

- Working on your own business
- Developing a portfolio career
- Studying or pursuing another project alongside work
- Simply looking for a better work‑life balance
The hours are designed to leave you with a significant amount of time outside of work for your own projects and interests.
You’ll have a clear, consistent role, friendly colleagues and a creative environment , without the expectation that work needs to take over your life.

- Warm, personable and naturally welcoming
- Highly organised and reliable
- Happy taking ownership and getting things done

- Experienced in an office or administrative environment
- Looking specifically for a part‑time position
- Ideally living within an easy commute of Clapham

- The Person
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who will enjoy being part of the team .
