Are you a people person, awake to the opportunities of delivering exceptional student support in the early hours? Our residents expect a round‑the‑clock service to fit with their busy study and social lives, so we need people who strive to deliver the same excellent level of customer service at 1am that we provide at 1pm.

As a Night Owl, you will be the first point of contact for residents between the hours of 8pm and 8am. 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. You’re 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.

Every interaction matters, which is exactly why you matter.

• Be a customer‑service superstar! Your friendly face may be the first to greet a resident in the morning or one that welcomes them home at the end of a long day. As a Night Owl, you will know the strength of your smile.
• Treat every enquiry with significant importance, taking personal pride in ensuring all enquiries are responded to swiftly and politely.
• Be an expert in our properties in the city, able to clearly articulate what we offer to prospective residents.
• Take pride in ensuring your property is fully booked and that your debt is managed swiftly.
• Support the Assistant Manager’s responsibilities in ordering stock for your property.
• Collect payments on behalf of residents, ensuring high levels of attention to detail and working in line with our policies and processes.
• 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.
• Conduct first class room inspections to make sure that our residents are taking care of their rooms through the year, and make sure that any issues are highlighted sensitively.

• Embrace the social side of being a Night Owl by taking the lead on organising social events for our residents; including the marketing of events, room set‑up and take‑down as necessary.
• Provide the warmest welcome for prospective new residents by mastering the perfect viewing of not only individual rooms, but also championing the building as a whole.
• Willingly and regularly ask for feedback from our residents and use that to sculpt new ideas, events, and services to propose to the wider service team.
• Create an environment whereby residents feel confident and comfortable in raising any concerns about our properties or our practices.
• Be the first fix for some of our resident’s more routine maintenance concerns – you’ll soon find yourself as the expert in lots of our more common maintenance reports whether that’s a lightbulb that needs changing, or a trip switch that needs resetting.

• 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.
• Pride yourself on an understanding of the demographic of your residents and tailor events to drive inclusivity.
• Educate yourself on the local support network that we can signpost residents to, who may be experiencing wellbeing or mental health issues, including primary points of contact at local universities.
• Develop a solid understanding of the local university picture, competitors and what makes your property the best option for any prospective residents.

• Work closely with the wider team: our people are great and you can be part of that!
• Our value Be Bold, Be Heard instils an open culture where we want to hear new ideas and how we…
