Would you be comfortable helping our students keep their new space clean and tidy, whilst being a caring and familiar face to support them get to grips with the basics of living away from home for the first time?

You will deliver exceptional service and lead a team of Housekeepers across several of our properties, to ensure our buildings are kept clean and well-presented so that our students can flourish and thrive in a safe and welcoming environment.

- Organising the day-to-day activities of the team, including delegating tasks, monitoring standards, and setting targets
- Maintaining a clean, safe, and secure environment for everyone, including liaising with maintenance teams to resolve issues
- Providing hands on support to the team to aid their learning and development, and help them to reach their potential
- Leading by example - never walking past a mess without doing something about it

- Actively listen to our students, directing them to available support whenever it is needed
- Take ownership of issues, including taking immediate and appropriate action in the case of an incident or emergency
- Adhere to our policies, procedures and specified ways of working at all times, including completion of basic monitoring and compliance

**What we're looking for**:

- You are detail oriented, nothing escapes your eye
- You are hardworking and willing to get stuck in alongside your team
- You are able to delegate tasks fairly, bearing in mind your team's strengths and weaknesses
- You are a confident housekeeper and able to lead a small team when required
- You communicate effectively, by actively listening, making points logically, and by using appropriate language, tone, and gesture.
- You remain calm and focussed, even in difficult or pressurised situations
- You have the ability to find a solution to a new situation or challenge
- You are confident working both alone on your own or as part of a team
- You understand and respect the diversity of others' cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds.

**What You'll Get in Return**
- A discretionary annual bonus so you can share in the company's success
- 25 days' paid holiday and an annual holiday buying scheme, with 5 additional days awarded for long service
- A generous pension scheme - employer contributions between 5% and 11% depending on how much you save
- Various benefits to support your health and wellbeing including a Healthcare Cash Plan, an Employee Assistance Programme, a Wellbeing platform and a Gym benefit that you can share with your family and friends
- Enhanced Family Leave including 18 weeks full pay for birthing parents and 4 weeks for non-birthing parents
- Lots of other great benefits including an annual ShareSave scheme, Employee Life Assurance, a discounts portal and more
