Position Overview
The Community Key Carrier is a current Hub Bancroft resident who supports authorized emergency property access during assigned coverage periods when regular on-site management is unavailable. Following established procedures and direction from property management, the role provides approved emergency responders or other authorized personnel with access, protects key security, documents each access event, and promptly communicates required information. The Community Key Carrier may also provide occasional support for community initiatives, special projects, and resident engagement activities as needed. The Community Key Carrier does not replace management, security, maintenance, or emergency responders; may not independently authorize entry; and must contact emergency services when required by established protocols.
What You Will Do
Emergency Access, Key Security, and Incident Response
- Respond during assigned key carrier coverage periods in accordance with the established schedule and response procedures.
- Coordinate authorized emergency entry when regular property management is unavailable. Confirm authorization in accordance with established procedures, and provide approved emergency responders or other authorized personnel with access to units or secured property areas only as directed by property management or those procedures.
- Know where and how to access designated property keys in an emergency; the role is not expected to retain a personal set of master keys.
- Maintain strict key and access-control security at all times and never duplicate, lend, share, or use keys for an unauthorized purpose.
- Respond promptly to authorized calls or notifications and contact property management and, when required by established protocols, emergency services.
- Document each access event accurately, including the date, time, reason for entry, parties present, and keys accessed or returned.
- Protect resident privacy and maintain confidentiality regarding unit access, resident information, and property operations.
- Immediately report lost keys, suspected unauthorized access, safety concerns, or deviations from access procedures to property management.
- Complete required training and follow all Core Spaces policies, procedures, and operational standards.
- Perform all other duties and tasks as assigned by management
Community Support
- Assist with occasional community events, resident engagement activities, move-in or turnover support, and special projects as requested by property management.
- Support community initiatives that enhance the resident experience while maintaining professionalism and representing the community positively.
- Communicate resident concerns, observations, or operational issues to the management team as appropriate.
- Assist with other limited property-related tasks consistent with the scope of the position and business needs

- Maintain residence at Hub Bancroft as an essential requirement of the position.
- Maintain reliable phone access and be able to respond during assigned coverage periods, which may include evening or overnight emergency access needs.
- Notify property management in advance of travel, overnight absences, move-out plans, schedule conflicts, or other circumstances that may affect an assigned coverage period.
- Record all time worked in accordance with company timekeeping requirements.
Work Environment and Physical Demands
- This is an on-site residential position performed throughout the community, including interior and exterior areas and during evening or overnight hours when needed.
- The role may require walking throughout the property, climbing stairs, standing, bending, reaching, and operating doors, locks, key cabinets, or access-control equipment.

Ideally, You'll Have
- Current residency at Hub Bancroft and the ability to maintain on-site residency for the duration of employment.
- Reliable phone access and the ability to respond during assigned coverage periods, including evenings or overnight when needed.
- Sound judgment and the ability to remain composed, follow established procedures, and protect key security, resident privacy, and confidential information during urgent situations.
- Clear communication and accurate documentation skills, with the ability to coordinate effectively with property management and authorized responders.
- Dependability, accountability, and the ability to work independently while meeting scheduling, training, and timekeeping requirements.
You’ll Crush It If You Have
- Experience in student housing, multifamily housing, hospitality, security, property operations, or another on-site environment requiring discretion and accountability.
