Homeless Hostels Support Workers, Concierges and Security

Agency Cover

Sometimes a site doesn’t need a full outsourced solution — it just needs a shift covered, quickly. Our Agency Cover service supplies vetted staff to fill specific shift requests, whether that’s a single night, a short-term gap, or emergency same-day cover when a rota falls through.

When Agency Cover Is Used

Agency Cover is reactive by design. Clients contact us with a specific shift or short-term gap that needs filling — a staff member off sick, an unexpected vacancy, or a short notice request — and we deploy a fully vetted concierge, support worker, or security professional to cover it. There’s no ongoing commitment required — you request cover as and when you need it.

Our control room is set up to respond quickly to these requests, so sites aren’t left non-compliant or unstaffed while a gap is resolved.

Vetting and Compliance

Every member of staff supplied through Agency Cover undergoes the same vetting as our Contract Cover staff — Enhanced DBS checks, right-to-work verification, and role-specific training — so there’s no drop in quality or compliance for short-notice bookings.

Temp-to-Perm

A small number of our clients have also used Agency Cover as a way to trial staff before offering them a permanent role directly. While it isn’t the primary purpose of this service, it’s available where it’s a good fit for both the client and the individual.
