We are looking for someone to join our Roost on a full-time permanent basis, with the successful candidate working 5 days out of 7 between 8am & 8pm. Our new Housekeeper will become a key part of our existing, friendly, and experienced property team at Pittodrie Street property in Aberdeen.

The City: The Granite City is steeped in history, and our university culture is a rich part of that heritage. The University of Aberdeen was founded in 1495 and is one of the UK’s oldest universities. While Robert Gordon University is a more recent development, it was named Scotland’s University of the Year in 2021! Joining our team would mean you are supporting the next generation of students as they embark on their studies and make their mark on this ancient city. We believe that students book more than a room when they choose us; we are offering them the space to flourish!
The Site: You can see the University of Aberdeen’s historic library from one of our impressive roof terraces, and we are within walking distance to NESCOL and on the main bus route to RGU. This means we are perfectly positioned to meet the needs of Aberdeen’s students, and our quality rooms are in high demand. Our central location also means our residents have quick access to our wonderful beach and all the attractions the city has to offer. Socialising is such an important part of the university experience, and we want to give students room to meet friends old and new from all over the world. Within our 618-bed site, students can take advantage of our designated study rooms, make use of our stunning social spaces, and brave the Scottish weather to see the sunrise from one of our two roof terraces!
The Vibe: Come and add your unique voice to our thriving community by joining our established team in Aberdeen! No two shifts are quite the same in our busy site, but you can rely on the fact our team will make you feel welcome every day.
Are you a multi-tasking superstar who recognizes that the environment a student chooses to call home during their studies is paramount to their success and wellbeing? As a Housekeeper at Student Roost, you will join the onsite property team in being the face of Student Roost for our residents. The service you provide is one of the many ways we keep customer service and safety at the top of our agenda.
You’ll provide a first-class cleaning service within our purpose-built student accommodation, ensuring all areas, whether communal spaces or individual resident rooms, are clean, neat, and tidy. Your attention to detail will ensure our property is always looking sparkling and inviting. The pride you take in your work will be visible for all to see, allowing residents to feel proud of their home away from home.
Think you’re the right fit? We hope so too.
You’ll be someone we can count on to:
OWN
* Champion the importance of a safe and clean environment for everyone within it, leading by example.
* Establish effective stock control measures; you will take full ownership of this essential task.
* Inspire residents and team members to take pride in their surroundings and treat the property as home.
* Bring your personality to work—your whole self—every day, recognizing that everyone is different.
DO
* Strive for excellence, responsible for the sparkling finish in all assigned areas, including communal areas, stairwells, student rooms, and kitchens.
* Adopt a safety-first approach, ensuring compliance with all statutory, legal, and moral obligations to keep the property safe and secure.
* Address problems proactively, maintaining an inviting, well-maintained, and safe environment at all times.
LEARN
* Get a great start by learning the Student Roost way through our online platform, which equips you with all necessary skills.
* Present yourself professionally and know your property inside out, including compliance, health and safety, and aesthetic standards.
COLLABORATE
* Work closely with the onsite team to make everyone’s experience easier and better.
* Contribute to an open culture where new ideas and solutions are encouraged, aligned with our value Be Bold, Be Heard.
The ‘us’ part
While we prioritize our residents, we also value our people—property teams, Night Owls, support staff, HQ teams, and more—who make our properties a home away from home. We seek individuals who want to make a difference every day and will be supported in their growth and ideas. We believe in mutual growth: you do you, and we grow together.
Psst… some challenges too:
* Cleaning up after residents’ weekend activities, with full PPE provided for safety.
* Summer turnaround, involving room clear-outs, checking contract cleaners, and assisting with preparations.
Please note that this role requires a Basic DBS check as part of our pre-employment process.
