Meet the Joint Living Team
At Joint Living, we firmly believe that everyone deserves to live as their authentic selves and feel happy and secure in their environment and community. That’s why we go the extra mile to ensure that our properties offer serene communal and private spaces. Additionally, all our staff undergo DBS checks, and we have safeguarding procedures in place to provide support to any tenant facing difficult situations.
We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment, which is why we provide staff training and share knowledge on LGBTQ+ issues. This ongoing learning practice reflects our dedication to inclusivity and care for our tenants.
Our goal is to provide our tenants with the best possible living experience during their studies. We understand the importance of feeling welcomed and connected, especially for those who are new to a city and may not know anyone yet. To facilitate this, we host social events where tenants can meet us and each other, forming friendships within their community. Additionally, we treat our tenants to a monthly Free Pizza Friday, in partnership with Pizza Pilgrims, encouraging bonding time with their housemates.
Most of our first-year tenants will stay with us for the full duration of their studies and that is something we are really proud of.
