The ‘us’ part
So you know what we’re looking for, but what are you looking for from your next employer? Sure, Student Roost has a portfolio of purpose-built student accommodation properties across the UK – but more than that, Student Roost is its people.
While we strive to put our residents first, our people also include those at the heart of what we do: the property teams, Night Owls, support staff, HQ teams and more who help to keep ours a 24/7/365-day home away from home for everyone who chooses to live with us. We ask that you seek to make a difference every day you show up, and in return we’ll show up for you by rewarding what’s right, supporting you in your career growth and aspirations, and championing the unique qualities and ideas that only you can bring to the business.
Simply put: you do you, so we grow together.
Psst… there are some challenges too
Health and Safety legislation is constantly evolving. Ensuring we stay ahead of Fire, Water and Electrical safety measures, and that the teams are completing the checks accurately is no small task.
It’s not all shiny. Our Maintenance team leaders will also get stuck in with challenges facing the on site teams which may include waste disposal management, pest control issues and drainage problems. It can be dirty work.
Summer turn can be challenging and fun in equal measure. The teams often work extended hours over this time and our Maintenance Team Leaders are expected to always lead by example.
