This is a wonderful opportunity to join an ambitious, thriving and professional company with a true innovative spirit. Our business originally started in 2009 and we have grown quickly. We’re ambitious, our Mission is to achieve 10,000 by 2025 and we are looking to double in size in the next 2-4 years.

We have a head-office in Covent Garden and we provide student accommodation in 8 properties (King’s Cross, St Pancras, Hoxton, Tower Bridge, Victoria, Vauxhall, City and Westminster). With nearly 4000 beds that operate on a 24/7 basis. We offer an amazing living experience with students who typically attend top universities such as Kings College, LSE, City University of London, NYU, SOAS and University of the Arts. Each of our residents’ rooms are designed to maximise space and light, and deliver the best in modern living with innovative finishes.

Our properties have a great community feel; with both lively and buzzing social areas and quiet study spaces for our residents. There is a co-ordinated calendar of in-house events that we run regularly and these help students to discover London, settle in, meet new people, make friends and enjoy their time living with us.

You will be joining a 180+ strong team. We all catch up and celebrate at different events throughout the year (the Christmas and Summer parties). We very much work on a daily basis in line with our Values – ‘IDEAS’ and we pride ourselves on a warm, collaborative and welcoming culture; where we are happy to help and support one another.

Our Vision is to achieve “a living experience better than yesterday; even better tomorrow’” – and we rely on everyone to play an important part in this.

“Take a look at our values… we work and live by these and they form the backbone of urbanest. These values are fundamental to how we operate.

Another fundamental… we are an equal opportunities employer and remain truly passionate about protecting and enhancing our inclusive culture. As a Central London business with residents from all over the globe living with us we are a real reflection of a vibrant international community”

Mark Morgan, CEO 

OUR BENEFITS

With significant growth forecast over the coming 5-10 years, we recognise the need to further develop a culture that focuses on a responsible, considerate and ambitious Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) profile across all areas of our business.

To help us with these key objectives and how we deliver under each we have committed to the 17 UN sustainable Development Goals as a launchpad for our action plan and to help us drive our improvements in our performance.

Angus Kearin, Head of Development

“Urbanest is committed to developing environmentally conscious properties. We recently secured one of the first major green loans in the Purpose Built Student Accommodation sector which will be used to secure a BREEAM Outstanding certification on our urbanest Battersea scheme, this being one of the most highly regarded sustainability assessment methods for infrastructure and buildings. We are also applying the low-energy Passivhaus ‘classic’ standard in design of the scheme, further embedding our commitment to delivering long-lasting and sustainable student accommodation.”
