Night Concierge Staff for Homeless Hostels in Norwich

HHS Group supplies vetted Night Concierges to homeless hostels, supported accommodation and emergency shelters across Norwich and the surrounding Norfolk area, including Wymondham, Aylsham, Diss and Loddon, working with local authorities, housing associations and homelessness charities.

Night Concierge cover across Norwich

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 Norwich sites run both roles side by side.

We cover hostels and supported housing schemes across Norwich and the wider Norfolk area, including Wymondham, Aylsham, Diss and Loddon. See our Norwich area page for the full range of roles we supply locally.

Contract Cover and Agency Cover in Norwich

Some Norwich 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 Norwich 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.

No authoritative current register gives a complete number of homeless hostels or shelters in Norwich, although at least three hostel services can be verified on current provider pages. In 2024–25, 551 households in the Norwich City Council area were assessed as already homeless and owed a relief duty; this is a statutory household measure, not a rough-sleeping count. Night Concierges we place locally build this kind of context into overnight access control and knowing when to escalate an incident.
