Night Concierge Staff for Homeless Hostels in Leicester

HHS Group supplies vetted Night Concierges to homeless hostels, supported accommodation and emergency shelters across Leicester and the surrounding Leicestershire area, including Oadby, Wigston, Loughborough and Hinckley, working with local authorities, housing associations and homelessness charities.

Night Concierge cover across Leicester

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 Leicester sites run both roles side by side.

We cover hostels and supported housing schemes across Leicester and the wider Leicestershire area, including Oadby, Wigston, Loughborough and Hinckley. See our Leicester area page for the full range of roles we supply locally.

Contract Cover and Agency Cover in Leicester

Some Leicester 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 vetted overnight concierge staff to sites in the area at short notice — 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 Leicester 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.

Leicester has at least four currently verified homeless hostel or crisis-accommodation sites: the council-run Dawn Centre and Action Homeless’s Mayfield House, The Hollies and Jarvis House, although no current authoritative source provides a complete citywide hostel count. Leicester City Council recorded 640 unique individuals rough sleeping during 2024/25; this is a full-year measure, not a single-night snapshot. Night Concierges we place locally build this kind of context into overnight access control and knowing when to escalate an incident.
