At Host, we don’t just provide student accommodation – we create thriving communities where students can feel happy, safe and supported throughout their university journey. Our mission? To be the best - and that starts with hiring brilliant people like you! 

We are on the lookout for a brand new Housekeeper to be the heart of our student community in Trust House and Northernhay, Exeter. This may be subject to change to also include The Northfield, Exeter.

This is a part-time, on-site position, working 30 per week on a changing shift pattern basis. Shifts are typically scheduled from Monday to Friday between either 9am-2pm or 10am-3pm, with a 30-minute unpaid lunch break included for shifts over six hours. The role offers an hourly pay of £19047.60, reflective of experience and responsibilities.

  • Helping prepare rooms for new residents – ensuring a smooth check-in process by making student spaces fresh and welcoming. 
  • Providing a friendly and approachable presence – interacting with students, responding to their requests and ensuring their needs are met. 
  • Supporting site operations – maintaining stock levels, reporting maintenance issues and assisting the wider team. 

Who We’re Looking For. 
We’re after a hardworking, detail-focused team player who is passionate about providing a clean and welcoming environment. Ideally, you’ll have: 

  • Experience in housekeeping, cleaning or facilities roles. 
  • A customer-first attitude with a warm, approachable manner. 
  • Strong attention to detail and high cleaning standards. 
  • A proactive approach to maintaining hygiene and presentation. 
  • The ability to work independently and as part of a team.

At Host, we know that happy teams create the best student experiences. Here’s what you’ll get in return: 

  • Career growth – we invest in training and development to help you reach your potential. 
  • A great work culture – friendly, supportive and built on trust. 
  • A role with purpose – making a real difference in students’ lives. 
  • Competitive salary & benefits – because great work deserves great rewards.  

Benefits include: 

  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays (pro-rata for part time staff) 
  • Extra day off on your Birthday 
  • Extra day off annually for volunteering 
  • Life insurance 
  • Access to our Employee Assistance Programme
