Night Concierge Staff for Homeless Hostels in Exeter

HHS Group supplies vetted Night Concierges to homeless hostels, supported accommodation and emergency shelters across Exeter and the surrounding area, including Exmouth, Crediton, Topsham and Cranbrook, working with local authorities, housing associations and homelessness charities.

Night Concierge cover across Exeter

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 Exeter sites run both roles side by side.

We cover hostels and supported housing sites across Exeter and the wider area, including Exmouth, Crediton, Topsham and Cranbrook. See our Exeter area page for the full range of roles we supply locally.

Contract Cover and Agency Cover in Exeter

Some Exeter 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 Exeter 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.

Official statistics estimated 51 people sleeping rough on a single night in the Exeter local-authority area in autumn 2025; this is a snapshot, not a total of everyone experiencing homelessness. No current authoritative complete register of Exeter’s hostels or shelters was found, although local services including St Petrock’s and Exeter City Community Trust provide practical support and supported housing. Night Concierges we place locally build this kind of context into overnight access control and knowing when to escalate an incident.
