Night Concierge Staff for Homeless Hostels in Ely

HHS Group supplies vetted Night Concierges to homeless hostels, supported accommodation and emergency shelters across Ely and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area, including Soham, Littleport, Sutton and Chatteris, working with local authorities, housing associations and homelessness charities.

Night Concierge cover across Ely

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 Ely sites run both roles side by side.

We cover hostels and supported housing schemes across Ely and the wider Cambridgeshire area, including Soham, Littleport, Sutton and Chatteris. See our Ely area page for the full range of roles we supply locally.

Contract Cover and Agency Cover in Ely

Some Ely 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 Ely 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.

East Cambridgeshire District Council reported in its January 2025 homelessness strategy that the district had three temporary-accommodation hostels with space for 24 households; the document does not say how many were in Ely itself. On 31 March 2026, 22 East Cambridgeshire households were in statutory temporary accommodation. Night Concierges we place locally build this kind of context into overnight access control and knowing when to escalate an incident.
