Business Development Manager (Science & Engineering)

About the Role

We are recruiting a Reception Supervisor to lead the team at Residences Reception. Residences Reception is located at the heart of our student residences on the Mile End Campus. The Residences Reception operates, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

This role involves working 8 am to 4 pm Tuesday to Thursday and Saturday, 12:30pm – 20:30pm on Friday, which is currently Tuesday – Saturday inclusive (with Sunday and Monday as days off) although a flexible approach is required to cover annual leave, busy periods and university closure periods during December when Reception remains fully open.

Reporting to the Residential Life Manager, you will continually develop the Reception team and be an integral part of the Residential Services Management Team, providing assistance to the 3000 residents living across 4 sites.

As the primary point of contact for students residing on campus, as well as guests and visitors, the Reception service plays a crucial role in ensuring customer needs are met promptly and professionally.

About You

The successful candidate will have previous experience of working in a fast paced, customer focused environment and have experience of managing a small team.

A knowledge of students and their needs whilst living in halls work is a requirement of the post. Whilst the working pattern is fixed, there are times when the post holder will need to be flexible with hours to cover busy periods such as move in weekend and open days plus the summer period when rooms are let out to conference guests.

The successful candidate will participate in an on call out of hours rota during the summer trade (beginning June – mid September annually) to respond to operational queries and covering one week in two; the salary offered reflects this responsibility.
