Nottingham

I joined Unite Students as a Housekeeper in 2014 and was promoted to Housekeeping Team Leader in 2015 and then Housekeeping Supervisor in January 2017. I didn’t know very much about the business before I joined, but it’s different to how I expected it to be. I didn’t think they’d be any progression available – and I’ve definitely proved that wrong!

The company is relaxed and supportive of my job role. I like the fact that I was able to job shadow some of the other roles in the city as this allowed me to get to know other people in the company and work with colleagues I wouldn’t usually get to work with. It was also really helpful in building working relationships. Everyone I work with is great – they’re friendly, supportive and fun.

I really enjoy working with students as they are from different parts of the world and I like finding out about their cultures and background, as well as see them grow into independent young adults.

I joined Unite Students in March 2017. I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive about working with students at first, but once you start talking to them and start seeing them every day, you grow in confidence. I love the working environment and the support I get from my colleagues, it’s a lovely place to be.

The culture here is amazing – not only are my colleagues amazing, but the students are, too. I feel really comfortable around my colleagues and know I can go to my supervisor anytime with any concerns. I really enjoy the rewarding feeling I get from my work.
