Homes for Students, the UK's largest independent provider of Student Accommodation, is currently seeking a General Manager for Headrow Court in Leeds.

Your leadership will be instrumental in embedding our core values and enabling your team to excel in their roles. The pinnacle of excitement awaits in September, as you take the reins of the check‑in, check‑out, and room turnaround process.

Your outstanding communication skills will shine as you support our new students and efficiently handle any customer or operational issues that arise. Fear not, because you won't be on this journey alone. You'll have the unwavering support of our larger Homes for Students family and an outstanding area and regional team by your side. This role demands a diverse skill set, but rest assured, we'll be with you every step of the way as we nurture your growth within Homes for Students.
