Residences manage a diverse portfolio of properties and offer accommodation to c.6,500 students per year in University Halls of Residence. Across the cities of Southampton and Winchester, another c.20,000 students make their homes in private rented accommodation. The City Relationship Housing Manager ensures that students outside of Halls of Residence have access to good quality private rented accommodation, via building relationships with local accommodation providers and landlords, and by building the profile of our private rented accommodation accreditation scheme (SASSH).
Main duties
* To be responsible for the University of Southampton's private rented housing accreditation scheme (SASSH) in partnership with Southampton City Council and Solent University.
* To continue to build the profile of the scheme with students and landlords, to deliver growth and engagement.
* To manage a schedule of property visits, to ensure accredited properties meet the required standards.

* To oversee the University's family house offer, ensuring all statutory checks are complete and contractual issues are complied with.
* To liaise and build relationships with local purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) operators.
Our aim is to ensure that students who choose our University can be confident that there is suitable, appropriate accommodation available for them throughout their studies. This post is a fixed-term appointment, to cover a period of maternity leave.
