Temporary staff across the region
Our reactive Agency Cover service supplies a vetted Night Concierge, Waking Night Support Worker or Security Guard at short notice, with no ongoing commitment — for a one-off shift, sickness cover or an unexpected rota gap. Where an Inverness site needs staffing on an ongoing basis instead, our fully outsourced Contract Cover service takes complete responsibility for staffing.
We cover hostels and supported housing sites across Inverness and the wider area, including Nairn, Dingwall, Fort William and Beauly. See our Inverness area page for the full range of roles we supply locally.
Vetting, training and site-specific induction
Every member of staff we deploy through Agency Cover in Inverness is Child and Adult Enhanced DBS checked and completes a site-specific induction before their first shift, alongside our full training package covering conflict management, safeguarding, fire safety and lone working. See the complete detail on our national Agency Cover page and our vetting, training and safeguarding standards.
No authoritative, complete current register of Inverness homeless hostels or shelters was identified, although at least one emergency-accommodation service serving the city is directly verified through Gateway, the Highland Homeless Trust. Highland Council recorded 151 homeless presentations in the Inverness area in January–March 2026; this is a quarterly presentation measure, not a count of everyone experiencing homelessness. It’s useful context for hostel and scheme managers arranging short-notice Agency Cover locally.
