Established in 2015, uhomes.com is one of the leading accommodation booking platforms for global students.
Since 2015, Uhomes has developed an international presence, with offices in key cities including London, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Beijing, Tianjin, Mumbai, Pune and Kuala Lumpur, and operations across more than 27 countries and regions.

Who Are We Looking For?
We’re looking for someone who gets what makes UK student content land, and who’d love to build it from the ground up. You’ll run our UK social channels, make content students actually want to watch, and help turn attention into bookings. You’ll work closely with the Marketing Manager, who sets the UK strategy, and with colleagues in Sales and Partnerships.
Responsibilities
- Plan and run a monthly content calendar across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook, following the UK social strategy.
- Make short-form video, photos and written content (Canva, CapCut or similar): room tours, city guides, student stories.
- Work with a small group of UK student ambassadors: brief them each week, give feedback and track what they post.
- Write city-focused blog and website content in clear, friendly UK English, starting with the biggest student cities.
- Reply to comments and messages within 24 hours, and turn the questions students ask into content.
- Keep an eye on trends and what other student accommodation brands are doing, and bring us new ideas.
- Help run offline events with the Partnerships team, such as university and school events, and make sure they turn into sign-ups.
- Track what’s working and report on it each month, so we know which content brings in leads.
What You’ll Bring
- A degree in Marketing, Communications, Media, Business or a related field, or equivalent experience.
- 2–3 years in social media or content, in-house or at an agency. Student, travel, property or consumer brands are a plus.
- A portfolio or examples of content you’ve made, with results where you have them.
- Confident video and design skills (CapCut, Canva, Premiere or similar).
- Strong written and spoken English, and a good feel for UK student culture and tone.
- Experience with social management tools and analytics.
- Organised, and happy to juggle several things at once.
Why Join Us?
- Professional development and training opportunities, including overseas training programmes.
- Opportunities to gain in-depth knowledge of international business operations.
- A flat structure, so you can make a real impact quickly. You’ll own your channels from day one.
- A supportive, young team that will make you feel at home at Uhomes.com.
