We're working with a vibrant, culture-driven PBSA owner-operator who is redefining what student living feels like.

They're big on kindness, big on community, and big on delivering experiences that stay with residents long after they've checked out.
This role is all about events, engagement, and atmosphere.

- Coach and support the front-of-house team to deliver exceptional service
- Support tours, enquiries, and rebooking campaigns
- Collaborate with local partners to bring fresh opportunities into the building
- Track engagement KPIs and contribute to building performance
What We're Looking For:
- A natural people-person with a passion for events, community, and creating memorable experiences
- Confident, energetic, and able to build rapport quickly
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
- Creative thinker with a flair for bringing ideas to life
- Calm, supportive, and solutions-focused in busy or challenging moments
- Experience supporting or leading a small team
- Comfortable using CRM or booking systems
- Understanding of basic health & safety responsibilities
What's In It for You:
- Up to £38,000 salary
- 10% annual bonus
