We’re Student Roost. An owner and operator of purpose-built student accommodation across the UK. We’re not quite the new kids on the block, having already created a portfolio of over 20,000 beds and ambition to further increase that in the near future; but we’re at the very beginning of building our brand, our culture and our DNA. That makes it a really exciting time to join us.
We can’t tell you too much about ‘who we are’, because we’re building the very team that will help us do that. What we can tell you, is that already we’re made up of really good people and we’re a business who will endeavour always to do the right thing, in the right way – truly putting students’ experience, welfare and safety at the top of our agenda.
We’ve all heard ‘if you build it…they will come’; we believe if you build it right, they will stay, that goes for both our customers and our people. We want to be a stable, welcoming and safe backdrop to our customer’s entire time at University, giving them one less thing to worry about. And for our people, we all spend more time at work than we do with our loved ones, we think it’s only right that you do that in an organisation, environment and a team that you love being a part of.
As a business working with a youth audience, our capabilities around technology are of paramount
importance to us. You’ll form a part of our Corporate Head Office team who all play important roles
in contributing to the success of our business and we’re searching for the best candidates out there
