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.
