Night Concierge Staff for Homeless Hostels in Dundee

HHS Group supplies vetted Night Concierges to homeless hostels, supported accommodation and emergency shelters across Dundee and the surrounding area, including Broughty Ferry, Monifieth, Arbroath and Forfar, working with local authorities, housing associations and homelessness charities.

Night Concierge cover across Dundee

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 Dundee sites run both roles side by side.

We cover hostels and supported housing sites across Dundee and the wider area, including Broughty Ferry, Monifieth, Arbroath and Forfar. See our Dundee area page for the full range of roles we supply locally.

Contract Cover and Agency Cover in Dundee

Some Dundee 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 Night Concierge we deploy in Dundee 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.

Dundee City Council’s 2024/25 temporary-accommodation inventory recorded three emergency/direct-access schemes with 65 units in total. The city received 1,638 homelessness applications during 2024/25; anyone homeless or at risk can contact the council’s Homeless Services Unit on 01382 432001 or its 24-hour advice line on 0800 633 5843. Night Concierges we place locally build this kind of context into overnight access control and knowing when to escalate an incident.
