Accommodation Manager - Premium Living

£40,000-£43,000 + 10% Bonus + Excellent Benefits

Are you a high-performing Retail Store Manager or Area/Cluster Manager ready to step away from the high street and into the exciting world of property building management?

This is a standout opportunity to take everything you've built in retail - leadership, customer experience, standards and commercial awareness - and apply it in a premium, service-led living environment.

You'll be joining a high-growth, design-led residential brand delivering a five-star, hospitality-style experience for residents - where service, presentation and community really matter.

The Role

Think of this as running your own retail store - just without the sales floor pressure.

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 passion for customer experience, service standards and team leadership
  • 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 juggle multiple priorities
  • Commercially aware with experience managing targets, budgets or KPIs
  • Energetic, engaging and naturally people-focused

What's In It For You?

  • £40,000-£43,000 basic salary (DOE)
  • 10% annual bonus
  • 30 days holiday (including bank holidays)
  • Your birthday off every year
  • Pension scheme
  • Employee perks & wellbeing support
  • Genuine career progression in a fast-growing, premium brand

If you're ready to take your retail leadership experience into a more balanced, service-led environment - while still leading from the front - this could be the perfect next step.
