SSH is a student housing provider with approximately 19,000 units in locations including Utrecht, Groningen, Rotterdam, Zwolle, and Tilburg. We provide student housing close to educational institutions for all students. We do more than just provide housing. For a student, a room is not just a roof over their head; it is the start of their adult life.

What sets us apart is that we consciously focus on living together and meeting others. We choose housing types and buildings that stimulate contact, because we believe this contributes to the personal and social development of students.

At SSH, you won't find a sluggish corporate culture, but a dynamic environment where collaboration is central and where you truly make a difference for the next generation. We are looking for doers and thinkers who will make this ambition a reality with us.

The team

You will join the financial administration team, which consists of 4 colleagues including yourself. The team is involved in processing the financial administration from A to Z. We work hard, enjoy helping each other, and combine professionalism with a healthy dose of humor. Collaboration is central, and we are looking for someone who actively contributes to the team and enjoys sharing knowledge.

Are you looking for a position in which you make a valuable contribution to a team? Then we would love to meet you. At SSH, we are looking for a colleague who works carefully and reliably, maintains an overview, and takes pleasure in a well-organized administration. The position is available for 16 to 36 hours per week. Together, we will discuss how many hours you want to work and how we can appropriately distribute the workdays and working hours, taking into account your wishes and the needs of the team.

We are looking for a colleague who takes pleasure in working carefully and enjoys bringing structure. You are independent, reliable, and feel responsible for the quality of your work.

You do not need to have the ambition to become a manager or to grow into another position. What we do find important is that you remain curious, keep your professional knowledge up to date, and enjoy thinking along when something can be done smarter or more efficiently.
