We are recruiting for an experienced Customer Service Advisor to join a large, high-profile purpose-built student accommodation site in Birmingham.
This is a full-time, customer-facing role suited to someone who enjoys being actively involved on site, is comfortable getting stuck in, and takes real ownership of the resident experience. You'll be a visible, hands-on presence across the building, not just behind the desk.
It is a varied front-of-house position combining customer service, administration, sales support and active site engagement within a busy residential environment.
About the Role
Key responsibilities include:
- Providing a professional front-of-house reception service
- Welcoming and assisting residents, visitors, partners and contractors
- Being an active on-site presence, engaging with residents throughout the building
- Handling day-to-day resident enquiries, requests and issues, ensuring timely resolution
- Assisting with viewings, promoting services and products, and supporting occupancy and sales targets
- Managing parcel deliveries and general reception administration
- Completing incident logs and other administrative tasks accurately
- Identifying hazards, resolving risks and responding appropriately to alarm activations
- Dealing with incidents as they arise and liaising with emergency services where required
- Carrying out room inspections, welfare checks and door knocks as required
- Supporting compliance, health & safety and operational checks across the site
- Ensuring reception areas, communal lounges, lift lobbies and hallways are kept clean, tidy and presentable
- Working closely with site management, maintenance and operational teams
- Taking a flexible, proactive and hands-on approach to ad-hoc tasks in a live residential environment
- With training and support, conducting show suite viewings when required
Please note: due to the nature of student accommodation, this role involves a wide range of ad-hoc tasks throughout the year and the responsibilities listed are not exhaustive.
