Be at the forefront of establishing effective and suitable stock control measures. You’re the expert at what is needed and when, so it makes sense for you to take full ownership of this important requirement. Our residents and team members will learn from you to have a sense of pride in their surroundings, and to treat the property as home. Every student is different and so are the teams that work in our properties. Don’t leave your personality at the door and please bring your whole self to work – it’s this ‘you’ we want to see every day. DO Always strive for the best, being responsible for the sparkling finish in all assigned areas of your property whether that’s our communal areas, stairwells, student rooms or communal kitchens.

LEARN Get off to the Best Start Ever and learn the Student Roost way of doing things. We take enormous pride in doing a great job and delivering exceptional results and our online learning platform will make sure you’re equipped with all the skills you need. Our properties are where our residents live but they’re also our shop windows. You’ll be the expert in how to present ourselves in the best possible light and know, inside out, the requirements of your property – whether that’s compliance, health and safety or, quite simply, what looks right. COLLABORATE Work closely with the onsite team to make sure that everyone’s life is made just that little bit easier.

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 Clearing up after a fun weekend: We all like to have fun, and this is certainly true for our residents. There may be a requirement for you to clear up common space that has been partied in over the weekend. This is not the most fun job, but you will be provided with full PPE as we want to make sure you are being kept safe. Summer turnaround: This is when our residents leave us and it’s the busiest time in our calendar. It can involve clearing out residents’ rooms, checking the contract cleaners are doing their jobs, and just generally helping out. Please note that as part of our safety first culture – this role is subject to requiring a Basic DBS check as part of our pre-employment checks.
