Atwood is hiring a Front Desk & Admissions Officer for its centre in Abuja. The company describes itself as a forward-thinking, holistic and dynamic education company. The role is full-time and onsite.
The main purpose is to act as the first point of contact at the Atwood Centre. This means handling student enquiries, supporting the admissions process, keeping student records accurate, and helping the centre’s programmes run smoothly through good customer service.
Who this role is likely to suit
This position fits people who are comfortable being the face of an education centre every day. If you enjoy greeting visitors, answering questions about courses or programmes, guiding people through registration, and keeping digital and paper records tidy, the work will feel natural.
It may feel less suitable if you prefer purely behind-the-scenes tasks with little face-to-face contact, or if you struggle with juggling several enquiries at once while maintaining a calm, professional tone on the phone and in person.
What a typical day involves
From the responsibilities listed by the employer, the officer spends time at the front desk receiving visitors and students, responding to walk-in and phone enquiries, supporting the admissions process, updating student records, and assisting with the practical side of programme delivery. Clear communication, accurate record-keeping and steady organisation are central to the work.
Official requirements (as stated by the employer)
- OND, HND or Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Office Administration, Customer Service, Marketing or a related discipline
- At least one year of experience in reception, customer service, admissions or administrative support is preferred
- Excellent spoken and written English
- Good telephone etiquette and professional communication skills
- Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, Google Workspace and WhatsApp Business
- Ability to maintain accurate records and manage multiple enquiries
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
- Familiarity with online registration forms, spreadsheets and digital filing systems
The job field is listed as Administration / Facilities. Documents required: CV only.
Salary and benefits are not stated in the listing.
Practical tips for your CV and interview
These points are AlertNaija247 guidance based on the stated requirements; they are not official employer instructions.
- In your CV, show any past work where you handled reception, front-desk duties, student or client enquiries, or admissions processes. Even short placements count if you can describe what you did.
- List the exact tools mentioned: Microsoft Word, Excel, Google Workspace and WhatsApp Business. Give one short example of how you used each (for example, tracking enquiries in a spreadsheet or managing client chats on WhatsApp Business).
- Highlight times you managed several requests at once or kept records accurate under pressure. Concrete phrases such as “updated daily enquiry log for 20+ visitors” are more useful than general claims.
- Prepare to speak clearly about how you would greet a prospective student, answer common questions about programmes, and guide them through an online registration form.
- If you have experience with digital filing or online forms, mention it briefly so the employer can see you already meet that part of the requirement.
One honest question to ask yourself before applying: Can I stay patient, organised and professional when several people need attention at the same time, including on the phone?
