As a Student Safety Team Member, you`ll play a key part in keeping our students and buildings safe, comfortable, and welcoming throughout the night. You`ll be the reassuring presence that helps students feel supported, cared for, and at home. You`ll work closely with Student Safety Team Leader and your peers across the cluster, making a real impact every day. Every shift brings something different ?" from doing safety patrols and updating Excel handovers, to responding to emails or supporting a student who needs help in the early hours. It`s a role where you`ll stay calm under pressure, connect with people, and make a real difference every night.

Your impact

Whilst no two nights are the same at Unite Students, here`s a flavour of what you`ll be responsible for in this role:

• Be a friendly face and first point of contact for students who need support or reassurance overnight.
• Keep our buildings and everyone in them safe, responding calmly to incidents or emergencies such as fire alarms, noise complaints, or maintenance issues.

• Support with wellbeing or welfare matters, noticing when something isn`t right and taking action to help.
• Be a brand ambassador, living our CARE principles: Connect, Act, Respect, and Encourage.

Your background

You don`t need to fit a box or follow a traditional path - what matters most is your mindset. We`re looking for curiosity, openness to learning, and the drive to make a difference. Whether you`re solving problems, leading change, or supporting our students day-to-day, it`s your attitude and approach that will help shape something bigger.

To be successful in this role, you will:

• Enjoy connecting with people and creating a safe, inclusive environment,
• Stay composed and confident when faced with unexpected challenges,
• Take pride in doing what`s right and supporting others
• Preferred, have experience in a customer service role or residential environment - though this isn`t essential. What matters most is your ability to connect with people and create a safe, welcoming atmosphere
