We’re Student Roost. An owner and operator of purpose-built student accommodation across the UK. We’re unrecognisable from the small brand that launched in 2017, having already created a portfolio of over 19,000 beds and ambition to increase that in the near future.
We’re made up of really good people and we’re a business who endeavours always to do the right thing, in the right way – truly putting students’ experience, welfare and safety at the top of our agenda.
We’ve all heard ‘if you build it…they will come’; we believe if you build it right, they will stay. That goes for both our residents and our people. We want to be a stable, welcoming and safe backdrop to our residents’ entire time at University, giving them one less thing to worry about. And for our people, we all spend more time at work than we do with our loved ones, we think it’s only right that you do that in an organisation, environment and a team that you love being a part of.
