The Opportunity:
We are looking for a proactive and customer-focused Field-Based Property Assistant to join our Property & Residential Services team within the Accommodation, Catering and Events department. This mobile, operational role supports the day-to-day management and upkeep of a diverse portfolio of student accommodation properties across multiple properties.
In this key support role, you will work alongside a team of Accommodation Managers to deliver high-quality property services for over 800 students. You’ll be responsible for conducting on-site inspections, identifying and reporting repairs, liaising with contractors, and ensuring properties are maintained to high standards. You'll also be the first point of contact on-site when managers are unavailable—assisting students, tradespeople and landlords.
This is a field-based role that requires excellent communication, organisation, and time management skills, with the ability to work independently while remaining connected to a wider operational team. You will support key activities throughout the year, including student arrivals and departures, viewings, inventories and planned maintenance coordination.
