We are looking for #Futureshapers who want to positively influence and shape the lives of others. We want the people who relish not knowing how things are going to turn out but are up for the ride anyway – they make the most of the opportunities they’re given and create their own opportunities even if none are given – they shape the future for themselves and for others.

We are currently on the lookout for an experienced Residence Manager to join the team in our state-of-the-art purpose-built student housing. Located in London with 350 beds.

It’s a big job but you will be part of a team of awesome Residence Managers across the globe, who will support you to ensure we are consistent in the service we provide to our students.

• Use your advanced knowledge of safety, security, compliance and building management to ensure core operating procedures are adhered to, followed up on and we are providing a safe secure home to our students
• Maintain and develop relationships with key players at the local universities, as well as internal and external suppliers – again here is that winning personality!
• Along with the day to day activities within your role, you will also be required to manage your health and safety responsibilities as set out in Section 7 of the Health and Safety at Work Etc.

• Act as the responsible person for water hygiene, ensuring safe management and compliance of site water systems, assisting in arranging any remedial actions or water testing required following Legionella Risk Assessments, and ensuring the site remains compliance with the Yugo Water Hygiene Management Plan
