Security Guards for Homeless Hostels in St Davids

HHS Group supplies vetted security guards to homeless hostels, supported accommodation and emergency shelters across St Davids and the surrounding area, including Haverfordwest, Milford Haven, Fishguard and Solva, working with local authorities, housing associations and homelessness charities.

Hostel Security cover across St Davids

A Hostel Security guard provides a visible, uniformed presence at the point of entry — managing who comes into the building, de-escalating conflict and supporting staff with challenging or aggressive behaviour. This is distinct from our Night Concierge service, which focuses on access control, key holding and CCTV monitoring rather than a physical security presence, and from our Night Support Workers, who focus on resident welfare and casework; many St Davids hostels run security cover alongside one or both of these roles.

We cover hostels and supported housing sites across St Davids and the wider area, including Haverfordwest, Milford Haven, Fishguard and Solva. See our St Davids area page for the full range of roles we supply locally.

Contract Cover and Agency Cover in St Davids

Many St Davids sites use our fully outsourced Contract Cover service, where we take complete responsibility for security staffing on an ongoing basis. For a one-off shift, sickness cover or an unexpected rota gap, our reactive Agency Cover service supplies a vetted security guard with no ongoing commitment — including short-notice cover when a Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) is activated or an emergency winter night shelter opens locally.

Vetting, training and site-specific induction

Every security guard we deploy in St Davids 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 Hostel Security page and our vetting, training and safeguarding standards.

No authoritative source publishes a complete count of homeless hostels or shelters in St Davids. Across the wider Pembrokeshire council area, Welsh Government estimated 22 people sleeping rough on 31 January 2026; people in St Davids who are homeless or at risk can contact Pembrokeshire County Council’s Housing Advice service or county-wide specialist services such as PATH and The Wallich. It’s part of the local picture our Hostel Security guards are briefed on for entry management and incident response.
