General Manager

Something special is taking shape in Leicester — a brand new 460+ bed student accommodation designed to do more than just provide a place to stay. It's about creating a destination. A place where students connect, grow, and thrive in a space that feels like home the moment they walk in.

Our client is looking for a bold, inspiring General Manager to bring this vision to life.

This is not your average GM role. This is about building culture, setting standards, and creating a vibrant student community from the ground up. You’ll be the driving force behind every detail — from the day-to-day operations and team development to safety, service, and unforgettable student experiences.

This isn’t a one-off opportunity. This is the start of something bigger. With more schemes set to launch across the UK, now’s your chance to join a fast-growing brand that’s redefining what student living can be — and shape the future of it!

Your Responsibilities:

• Leading and motivating a passionate team to deliver exceptional service and an unbeatable resident experience
• Owning the operational performance of the building — from budgets and brand standards to compliance and community events
• Creating a positive, safe, and high-performing culture where your team and your residents feel empowered and engaged
• Bringing energy, creativity, and innovation to marketing, resident engagement, and local partnerships
• Acting as a mentor, coach, and role model — living the values, inspiring excellence, and setting the tone for the entire community

Your Experience:

• Have strong experience in PBSA, residential or hospitality
• A natural leader who thrives in fast-paced, people-focused environments
• Someone who brings commercial acumen and operational know-how, with a sharp eye for opportunity and improvement
• A motivator and relationship-builder who leads by example and knows how to bring out the best in others
• Passionate about creating spaces where young people can feel safe, inspired, and at home​

We are looking to attract talent from all areas of the property industry for this position. We endeavour to have a fair recruitment process. So apply in any way that suits you: text message, video message, CV - the more creative the better.
