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 a Stirling 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 Stirling and the wider area, including Falkirk, Alloa, Bridge of Allan and Dunblane. See our Stirling 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 Stirling 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 source provides a complete current count of homeless hostels or shelters in Stirling; the council’s 319 temporary-accommodation properties are mostly individual furnished properties and are not a hostel count. Stirling recorded 680 homelessness applications in 2024/25, and anyone homeless or at risk can contact Stirling Council’s 24-hour homeless service for assessment and, where required, emergency accommodation. It’s useful context for hostel and scheme managers arranging short-notice Agency Cover locally.
