The Role

As Deputy Student Accommodation Office Manager, you'll support the day to day management of the accommodation office, ensuring an outstanding service is delivered to students and residents throughout the accommodation cycle.

You'll oversee accommodation allocations, help maximise occupancy, coordinate student arrivals, manage communications, and ensure processes run smoothly while supporting and motivating the team.

I'm looking for someone who has:

  • Previous experience in an office management, accommodation, property, or customer service environment looking for a step up.
  • Excellent organisational and administrative skills.
  • Strong communication skills with the confidence to deal with a wide range of people.
  • The ability to prioritise a busy workload and work using their own initiative.
  • Experience using databases or booking systems.
  • A positive, proactive, and solution focused approach.
  • Previous supervisory or team leadership experience would be advantageous, but not essential.
  • Used to a very fast paced environment, able to keep calm under pressure, and take full responsibility when the manager is on leave
Perks:
  • Free meals
  • Uniform provided
  • 20 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Free Parking

  • Employee retail discount scheme

In return, you'll work with a friendly, supportive manager, an employer that genuinely looks after its staff, and a varied role with real responsibility and autonomy.

If you're looking for a role where you'll be part of a genuinely supportive team and work for an organisation that values its employees, we'd love to hear from you.
