Job Description

Accommodation Manager - Premium Residential Living

(Perfect for Retail, Hotel & Hospitality Supervisors / Assistant Managers)

City Centre Location
Up to 30,000 + 10% Bonus
Career progression in a fast-growing sector

Are you currently working as a Retail Supervisor, Assistant Store Manager, Duty Manager, or Hotel/Hospitality Supervisor and ready for your next step?

Do you love leading teams, delivering great customer experiences and running smooth day-to-day operations, but want a role outside the pressures of retail trading hours or hotel shift patterns?

This could be the perfect move.

We're recruiting for an Accommodation Manager within a premium residential living environment - a role where your leadership, customer service and operational skills will translate perfectly.

The Opportunity

You'll help oversee the day-to-day running of a modern residential building, ensuring residents receive a five-star service experience while supporting a small on-site team.

It's a fantastic opportunity for someone from retail or hospitality who enjoys managing people, maintaining high standards and creating a welcoming environment.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Supporting the day-to-day operations of a premium residential building
  • Leading, motivating and developing a small on-site team
  • Delivering a high level of customer service and resident experience
  • Overseeing standards across the building and shared spaces
  • Supporting facilities and maintenance coordination
  • Working alongside a Facilities Technician to ensure Health & Safety compliance
  • Helping ensure the building runs smoothly, safely and professionally

Who This Role Is Perfect For

We're particularly keen to speak with candidates currently working in:

  • Retail management (Assistant Store Manager / Supervisor / Department Manager)
  • Hotel or hospitality leadership roles (Duty Manager / Supervisor / Assistant Manager)

You'll likely have:

  • At least 1 year of management or supervisory experience
  • A strong background in customer service and team leadership
  • Experience managing daily operations or running shifts
  • A hands-on leadership style and a proactive mindset
  • Strong organisation and communication skills
  • A positive, energetic approach to work

Property experience is not required - your leadership and service skills are what matter most.

What's in It for You

  • Salary up to 30,000 (DOE)
  • 10% performance-related bonus
  • Career progression within a rapidly growing organisation
  • A supportive, collaborative working culture
  • Opportunity to transition your retail/hospitality experience into a long-term career sector

Working Pattern

Three shift patterns (Mon-Fri):

  • 7:00am - 4:00pm
  • 9:00am - 6:00pm
  • 12:00pm - 9:00pm

Plus 1 in 3 weekends.

Compared with retail and hospitality roles, this offers a more structured and balanced working pattern.
