• Working with managers and partners to support our students` wellbeing should they find themselves in vulnerable or difficult situations
• Organising events to create and build an inclusive community where our students can relax and be themselves
• Proactively driving local sales activity against given targets

What we`re looking for:

• You are able to delegate tasks fairly, bearing in mind your team`s strengths and weaknesses
• You are hardworking and willing to get stuck in alongside your team
• You are a confident operator ready to take the first step into leadership
• You communicate effectively, by actively listening, making points logically, and by using appropriate language, tone, and gesture
• You remain calm and focussed, even in difficult or pressurised situations
• You have the ability to find a solution to a new situation or challenge
• You are confident working both alone on your own or as part of a team
• You understand and respect the diversity of others` cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds.

We will provide you with:

• A market competitive salary and benefits package
• Excellent training to support your learning and development
• An opportunity to grow your skills in a supportive and collaborative environment.

Working 37.5 hours per week, the Students Experience Team Leader will be on property and available as business needs dictate, in line with our promise to our students of `being there when you need us` - this will include being part of an appropriate on-call rota alongside your team.
