Homes for Students, the UK's largest independent provider of Student Accommodation, is currently seeking a General Manager for Axiom in Stoke.

You'll work closely with your team to ensure top‑notch customer service in sales, maintenance, and housekeeping. Your leadership will be instrumental in embedding our core values and enabling your team to excel in their roles. The pinnacle of excitement awaits in September, as you take the reins of the check‑in, check‑out and room turnaround process. Your outstanding communication skills will shine as you support new students and efficiently handle any customer or operational issues that arise. You will not be alone; you will have the unwavering support of our larger Homes for Students family and an outstanding area and regional team by your side.
