Make a Difference to Student Life From Day One
Are you someone who naturally says “Yes, I can help with that”?
Do you love creating warm welcomes and positive experiences for others?
Would you enjoy being part of a friendly team that helps make our university halls feel like home?
If so, Accommodation Services would love to hear from you.
We are looking for enthusiastic, approachable, student focused individuals to join our Front-of-House team. You’ll be one of the first faces our students meet — and one of the friendly, solution-focused people they rely on throughout their residential journey.
At the University of Lincoln, students are at the heart of everything we do, and accommodation plays a vital role in shaping their wellbeing, success, and sense of belonging. This role is key to supporting that experience.
What You’ll Be Doing
As an Accommodation Services Assistant, you’ll help us deliver a 24/7 reception service and support the smooth running of our accommodation operations. Every day will be different, and you’ll play a vital part in making our halls safe, welcoming, and supportive.
You Will
- Provide a warm, helpful, knowledgeable reception service to students, parents, staff, visitors, and guests.
- Be a positive ambassador for the University — friendly, calm, and confident when resolving queries.
- Support student wellbeing by carrying out wellbeing checks where required.
- Assist with post handling, enquiries, administration, and database updates.
- Support arrivals, departures, open days, enrolment events and other key moments in the student journey.
- Work with colleagues across the wider Accommodation Services and Commercial & Campus Services teams.
- Participate in fire watch duties and support our safety processes.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for friendly, proactive “Yes” people who naturally go the extra mile to help others. You don’t need to know everything on day one — but you do need the right attitude.
You’ll Bring
- Excellent customer service experience in a busy, front-facing environment.
- A warm, approachable and diplomatic manner.
- The ability to stay calm, patient and helpful in unexpected or challenging situations.
- Strong communication skills and great attention to detail.
- Confidence using IT systems and learning new processes.
- A genuine commitment to supporting students and enhancing their residential experience.
- Flexibility to work shifts including evenings and weekends as part of our rota.
If you love problem-solving, thrive in a sociable environment, and want to make a real difference to students’ lives, this role is perfect for you.
