- Opening and closing the studio
- Keeping the studio clean, tidy and presented to a high standard throughout the day
- Managing refreshments and keeping them replenished
- Monitoring stock levels and proactively flagging when supplies need ordering
- Maintaining general studio presentation
- Reporting any maintenance, client or operational issues to the studio directors
- Keeping the team informed of anything that needs attention
- Completing simple daily studio checks and reporting
- Generally taking ownership of making sure the studio is running smoothly
