Job Description
Accommodation Manager - Premium Living (8-Month FTC - Maternity Cover)£38,000 Pro Rata (Approx. £25,300 for 8 Months) + 10% Bonus + Excellent Benefits
Immediate / Short Notice Candidates Preferred
Are you a high-performing Retail Store Manager or Area/Cluster Manager ready to step away from the high street and into a fresh, service-led environment?
This is a fantastic fixed-term opportunity (8 months) to bring your leadership, customer experience and operational expertise into a premium residential setting - delivering a five-star, hospitality-style experience without the pressures of retail trading hours.
You'll be joining a high-growth, design-led living brand, where standards, service and community are everything.
The Role
Think of this as running your own retail operation - just with a more balanced lifestyle and a different kind of customer.
You'll:
* Take full ownership of the day-to-day operation of the residence
* Lead, inspire and develop a front-of-house and operations team
* Deliver a five-star resident experience, setting the standard for service
* Drive presentation, standards and attention to detail across the building
* Oversee maintenance coordination and ensure the building always looks its best
* Ensure full compliance with Health & Safety and operational standards
* Manage budgets, costs and overall performance
* Create a vibrant, engaging community through events and resident interaction
* Build strong relationships with local partners and universities
What We're Looking For
* Experience as a Retail Store Manager, Senior Assistant Manager or Area Manager (non-food preferred)
* A genuine passion for customer experience and service excellence
* Strong operational mindset - used to running a busy, high-footfall environment
* A hands-on leader who leads from the front and sets the tone
* Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple priorities
* Commercial awareness with experience managing targets, budgets or KPIs
* Energetic, engaging and naturally people-focused
What's In It For You?
* £38,000 salary (pro rata for 8-month contract - approx. £25,300)
* 10% bonus potential (pro rata)
* 30 days holiday (including bank holidays, pro rata)
* Your birthday off
* Pension scheme
* Employee perks & wellbeing support
* The chance to gain experience in a fast-growing, premium sector
If you're looking for a short-term opportunity that still gives you ownership, impact and a great working environment - this is a brilliant move away from retail while keeping everything you enjoy about leading a team.
