A successful university campus is about so much more than buildings. It’s about the environment, the atmosphere and the people – creating that sense of home that will help students feel safe, secure, and help them thrive. At UPP, we understand just how important this is and that’s why at each of the universities we partner with we have a dedicated onsite team offering a range of facilities management services designed to support the safety of the building and ensure students enjoy a high quality of life throughout their stay.
Here at UPP we currently have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Home at Halls Representative to join our Reading team. Candidates must be current University students who are living or have previously lived in the University Halls of Residence. You must also be available to attend a compulsory training session (date to be confirmed).

- Assisting with administration associated with the events including inputting attendance data, responding to student queries and other associated event administration.
- Contributing to the social media marketing of events and activities.
- Contributing events ideas during planning and assisting with organisation.
- Leading a minimum of one event per week. This will involve setting up the event, registering event attendance, leading the activity and responding to queries that may arise.

- Actively promoting upcoming events to event attendees.
- Gathering feedback and assessing during events from attendees.
- Attending relevant training provided by UPP and its partners.
