The bit about us
x+why launched in 2019 with a simple belief: business should be a force for good. We’re proud to be a Certified B Corp, creating hospitality-led spaces that put people and planet alongside profit.
Today we operate 15 coworking, event, and members’ clubspaces across London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Milton Keynes, supporting a vibrant community of 5,000+ members - with more launches on the horizon!
The bit about the role
Full transparency, this probably isn’t the job for you if…
· you want to sit behind a desk all day.
· you prefer every day to look the same.
· you would rather not engage with people.
This is a 2 month fixed term contract (Mon-Fri 8/5 or 9/6), and is based at our stunning Unity Place site in Milton Keynes, which is minutes from the train station and also offers free onsite parking.
As the Community Associate, you will be based on our reception desk to warmly welcome and support our members and their guests. During peak times you will meet and greet all visitors in the main foyer and escort them to our floor - this is were your people skills will come into force, as we want every guest to feel at ease from the second they arrive.
While on the desk, you will also respond to email enquiries from members, support the team with engagement events, log any maintenance issues and help set up equipment and furniture for a range of meetings and events.
The space
Located in the heart of Unity Place, our workspace is modern, bright and big - it is equivalent to an entire football pitch in size! Designed to encourage collaboration, wellbeing and sustainability, the open-plan space has a mix of flexible workspaces, private offices, meeting rooms and event spaces.
The team are incredibly supportive (and lots of fun!), they have worked really hard to create a thriving community where ambitious businesses and professionals come together to connect, collaborate and celebrate!
The bit about you
As the first person our members engage with, you will understand what exceptional service looks like, and how to achieve that. Your friendly and enthusiastic nature is infectious, and everyone you interact with, walks away a little happier.
Ideally you have previous experience in a coworking or hospitality environment, are available to start ASAP and can commit to a 2 month contract.
Why x+why?
We want people to enjoy coming to work. Even on Mondays.
In return, you’ll get to work in a beautifully designed space with great coffee, lots of plants, and a genuinely supportive (and social!) team who care about creating brilliant experiences for members, while still having fun along the way!!

x+why provides flexible workspaces to a community of purpose led entrepreneurs and businesses.
We are home to businesses of all sizes, from all sectors. Businesses that have a common goal – to make a difference. They understand, or want to understand, the revolution that is taking place in the workplace; the link between purpose, people and profit. By inspiring businesses to seek out and deliver on their purpose we help them attract best in class talent, build better relationships with customers and suppliers, make a positive impact in society and make more profit.
x+why does this by working with landlords to design, manage and operate inspirational and flexible workspaces, which champion purpose as well as profit. Imagine a workspace where ideas are shared, employees are engaged, well being and technology are central, plans are hatched and social impact is achieved.
Together, under one roof, we can do more.
x+why has flexible workspaces across the UK in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Milton Keynes, with many more set to open. All of the sites challenge the future of work and support better business, they also place a large emphasis on technology and wellness - we aim to create a space to inspire and stimulate.
With a range of flexible memberships, x+why have space for every type of member and cater for every type of mood (from creative, quiet to sociable space).
