**The City**: Poole: the coast with the most, with a historic maritime, a bustling quayside, green open spaces and idyllic views across Europes largest natural harbour with eight islands and striking peninsula. From basking on the famous Sandbanks Beach to learning a new watersport or discovering miles of walks and cycle ways, Poole is packed with ways to make the most of precious time out.

**The Site**: Our Poole Roost is located a stones throw from the harbour and a short bus ride from Talbot Campus. With a focus on community and wellbeing, the property is staffed 24/7 so there is always someone on hand to help. Consisting of City Manager, Assistant Operations Manager, 3 Customer Service Advisors, Housekeeper, 3 Night Owls, and maintenance, we are a friendly bunch determined to make our residents university experience the best it can be and help them to make memories that will last a lifetime.

**The Vibe**: Corfe House is a chilled placed to live, with a strong sense of community amongst residents. We work in close partnership with Bournemouth University to deliver a safe, relaxed home-from-home and support residents to make the most of their university experience.

**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. Youre 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.
