Youll be someone we can count on to:

OWN

• Champion amongst the team the importance of a safe and clean environment for everyone within it, and always lead by example.
• Be at the forefront of establishing effective and suitable stock control measures. Youre 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. Dont leave your personality at the door and please bring your whole self to work its 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.
• Adopt an unapologetic safety-first approach to operating safe and secure properties in line with all statutory, legal, and moral obligations, helping to ensure that safety and welfare needs are never overlooked.
• Youll never walk past a problem ensuring that your property is inviting, well-maintained and safe at all times.

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.
• Our properties are where our residents live but theyre also our shop windows. Youll be the expert in how to present ourselves in the best possible light and know, inside out, the requirements of your property whether thats compliance, health and safety or, quite simply, what looks right.

COLLABORATE

• Work closely with the onsite team to make sure that everyones life is made just that little bit easier.
• Our value Be Bold, Be Heard instils an open culture where we want to hear new ideas and how we can implement solutions to improve.

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 its 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.

The us part

So you know what were 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 well show up for you by rewarding whats 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.
