Night Concierge Staff for Homeless Hostels in Chichester

HHS Group supplies vetted Night Concierges to homeless hostels, supported accommodation and emergency shelters across Chichester and the surrounding area, including Bognor Regis, Midhurst, Selsey and Petworth, working with local authorities, housing associations and homelessness charities.

Night Concierge Chichester: Cover Across the City

A Night Concierge provides overnight building presence and access control — checking who comes and goes, holding keys, monitoring entry points and CCTV, and being the calm first point of contact if something happens after hours. This is distinct from our Night Support Workers, who focus on resident welfare and casework rather than access control; many Chichester sites run both roles side by side.

We cover hostels and supported housing sites across Chichester and the wider area, including Bognor Regis, Midhurst, Selsey and Petworth. See our Chichester area page for the full range of roles we supply locally.

Contract Cover and Agency Cover in Chichester

Some Chichester sites use our fully outsourced Contract Cover service, where we take complete responsibility for concierge 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 concierge 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 member of staff we deploy in Chichester 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 Night Concierge page and our vetting, training and safeguarding standards.

In January–March 2026, 190 households in Chichester District were assessed as owed a statutory homelessness prevention or relief duty; this is a district-wide household measure, not a rough-sleeping count. At least one dedicated homelessness hostel is verified in Chichester, the 17-bedroom Chichester Hostel, with applications made through the Stonepillow Chichester Hub rather than at the hostel itself. Night Concierges we place locally build this kind of context into overnight access control and knowing when to escalate an incident.
