General Manager - Student Accommodation
Are you a dynamic leader with a passion for creating a home away from home for students? Do you have a knack for team motivation, a solid grasp of health and safety regulations, and a talent for managing budgets? If so, we have an exciting opportunity just for you!
Homes for Students, the UK's largest independent provider of Student Accommodation, is currently seeking a General Manager for Griffon Studios in London. This isn't your average 9-to-5 job; it's a chance to lead, inspire, and take charge of a thriving student community.
Your weekly hours will be 40 hours per week, working 8.00am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday.
About the Role:
As our General Manager, you'll be the driving force behind an exceptional student living experience. You'll work closely with your team to ensure top-notch customer service in sales, maintenance, and housekeeping. Your leadership will be instrumental in embedding our core values and enabling your team to excel in their roles.
