Accommodation, Catering and Events / Field-based across University accommodation sites with St Leonard’s Hall as a primary base
Full-time: 35 hours per week, 5 over 7 days
Open-ended (permanent)
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.
As a valued member of the team, you’ll play a vital role in enhancing the student experience, maintaining safe and comfortable living spaces, and ensuring the smooth operation of our residential estate.
This is a full-time, permanent role working 35 hours per week. Due to the nature of the role, a full clean driving licence is essential. Occasional weekend or evening working may be required during peak operational periods (e.g., arrivals weekend or end-of-tenancy inspections).
Your Skills and Attributes for Success:
Strong interpersonal skills and a customer-first approach.
Proven ability to work independently in the field, managing tasks across multiple locations.
Experience in property, housing, or facilities management.
Competent IT skills, including Microsoft Office and mobile technology.
Ability to plan and prioritise tasks in a fast-paced, cyclical environment.
Practical problem-solving skills with a focus on responsiveness and service quality.
Clean driving licence and willingness to travel daily between sites.
