.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
**Hours**: 37.5 hours per week, Monday - Sunday 5 days out of 7 between the hours of 08:00 - 20:00

**Salary**: £21,762 per annum

**Are you someone who prides themselves on ensuring an environment is the best it can possibly be? You may be the person to level up our properties with some** **TLC: tender loving caretaking.**

Our caretakers are just that: individuals who take care of our buildings, providing not only safe spaces for our residents and team members but also going over and above to keep our buildings well-maintained and an aesthetic dream.

As a caretaker at Student Roost, you are involved in all aspects of building maintenance, from carrying out small repairs to escorting third-party contractors to any issues within your building. You will also take the lead on compliance checks with your keen eye for detail and precise reporting skills. And just as you care for our buildings and the people within them, well take care of you.

**_ We are Student Roost._**

**_ Its more than a room. Its more than a job._**

**The you part**

Think youre the right fit for this role? We hope so too.

Youll be someone we can count on to:
**OWN**
- You will be the engine room of the property, working alongside the team and responding to urgent maintenance issues with confidence. Even if you cannot fix the problem, you can report it swiftly.
- 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**
- Adopt a consistent and unrelenting approach to ensuring that your property is safe, through accurate and detailed compliance checks and swift reporting of non-compliance.
- Have a keen eye for anything that needs repairing or replacing, from painting to putting up shelves, unblocking drains to stopping leaks.
- Develop a keen understanding of planned preventative maintenance at your property and become your sites go-to for PPM queries.
- Youll be happy to get your hands dirty by managing your propertys bin store area and taking the lead to ensure contaminated waste is correctly disposed of.

**LEARN**
- Get off to the Best Start Ever and learn the Student Roost way of doing things. We never walk past a problem and you will take pride in the day-to-day maintenance of the property, with a strong focus on customer service, attention to detail and a respectful approach that comes with working in someones home.
- Understand that safety and welfare are never overlooked so you must be able to use all equipment safely and efficiently, as well as escort, monitor and assist the quality of work of contracted landscapers and specialist engineers attending site
- Be your buildings maintenance expert, learning the quirks that make your site unique and the areas of your property that require additional care.

**COLLABORATE**
- Work closely with the site manager and assistant manager to ensure any maintenance issues that require a third-party contractor are raised and reported and that planned preventative maintenance is carried out in line with the appropriate timescales.
- 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.

**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.

**Psstthere are some challenges too**

There is a lot of statutory compliance jobs with this role, to make sure we are keeping our residents safe, so sometimes it might feel a little repetitive.

Summer turn can be challenging and fun in equal measure. This is when we are repairing and preparing rooms for our new residents. This might mean working more hours than usual, but dont worry theres overtime pay and usually pizza (insert other free food)

**Spoilers please**

Its going to be an exciting jo
