Job description
We're Student Roost. An owner and operator of purpose-built student accommodation across the UK. Were not quite the new kids on the block, having already created a portfolio of over 19,000 beds and ambition to increase that further in the near future; but we're at the very beginning of building our brand, our culture and our DNA. That makes it a really exciting time to join us.
We're already a team made up of really great people and we're a business who will endeavour always to do the right thing, in the right way truly putting students experience, welfare and safety at the top of our agenda.
Weve all heard if you build it they will come; we believe if you build it right, they will stay: that goes for both our residents and our people. We want to be a stable, welcoming, and safe backdrop to our residents entire time at University, giving them one less thing to worry about. And for our people, we all spend more time at work than we do with our loved ones, we think its only right that you do that in an organisation,environment and a team that you love being a part of.
We think theres a difference between offering a 24/7 presence and a 24/7 service; having someone on hand isnt the same as having great service, around the clock. Instead, we prefer to say we're always here.
