From running onsite events and facilitating late night room viewings to collecting rent and liaising with overseas agents, being busy is what you do best. Youre an important part of our residents stay, supporting students who might need to report a maintenance issue, collect a parcel, ask for directions or simply need to chat.

We are Student Roost.

Its more than a room. Its more than a job.

The you part

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.

Simply put: you do you, so we grow together.

Psst… there are some challenges too

  • The most obvious of these is the lone working through the night.This can be a isolating role, so you will need to be pro-active to keep yourself busy. At the end of a shift, youll be able to look back at your day, each one different from the last, and know that youll have made a real difference to a residents life and university experience.
  • It is important to note that the role will require the successful candidate to assist in supporting team members and residents with an array of incidents that may include the topic of suicide, self-harm, depression, anxiety and other complex psychological matters and also incidents of anti-social behaviour which includes assault and abuse and therefore this role should only be considered for those who feel they are able to set strict boundaries in place to look after own wellbeing and are able to adhere to the processes and policies that have been put in place.
