Working at ISH is great because we are like one big family, all departments work together like a well-oiled machine and we have one common goal, to make ISH the best student residence in London.

I love that we do team games and competitions that help all departments bond together. ISH staff have a few nice perks like the simply health and lunch allowance which is a nice little bonus.
