Student Safety Team Member – Unite Students/Hello Student
Location: London North
Contract Type: Permanent
Working Hours: 42.5 hours per week, 5 nights per week (22:00–07:00). Rotational weekends included.
Salary: £35,850 + bonus + competitive benefits
About the Role
At Unite Group, we create Homes for Success through our student accommodation brands, Unite Students and Hello Student. This opportunity is with one of our two brands, where you can make a difference, night after night.
As a Student Safety Team Member, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring our students and buildings are safe, comfortable, and welcoming throughout the night. You’ll be the reassuring, supportive presence students can rely on—helping them feel cared for as if they’re at home.
Behind every shift, you’ll contribute to a supportive, inclusive, and vibrant community throughout the night. No two nights are the same; your duties will range from safety patrols and incident response to checking emails and assisting students in need, all while working closely with your team and the Student Safety Team Leader.
This role demands calm under pressure, empathy, and a genuine desire to connect with people. You’ll ensure students thrive in their home away from home—24/7.
Your Responsibilities
Here’s what your nights might look like:
- Be the first point of contact for students needing support, reassurance, or guidance.
- Actively monitor safety and respond to incidents with clarity, such as fire alarms, noise complaints, or maintenance issues.
- Foster a friendly, welcoming, and respectful environment where students feel valued and supported.
- Collaborate with day and night shift teams for seamless service and smooth shift handovers.
- Maintain neat, safe, and comfortable communal spaces.
- Address wellbeing or welfare matters, including observing signs of distress and intervening appropriately.
- Live our CARE values: Connect, Act, Respect, and Encourage when engaging with students and colleagues.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Is curious, open, and eager to learn.
- Enthusiastically solves problems, leads change, and supports others when needed.
