Homeless Hostel & Supported Housing Staffing Across Essex

HHS Group places vetted night concierges, support workers, security guards and facilities staff into homeless hostels and supported housing right across Essex, with cover in place for Basildon, Braintree, Brentwood, Castle Point, Epping Forest, Harlow, Maldon, Rochford, Tendring, Uttlesford and Thurrock.

Every member of staff is Child and Adult Enhanced DBS checked, right-to-work verified, and trained to our CPD-accredited standard covering safeguarding, professional boundaries and de-escalation, with a site-specific induction before their first shift, including surge cover when a Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) is activated or emergency winter night shelter provision opens locally. Hostel managers and local authorities anywhere in Essex therefore receive the same vetting standard we apply nationwide.

Staffing Services Across Essex

Whether you need ongoing cover or a single shift, we supply Night Concierges, Night Support Workers, Security Guards and Floating Support Workers to sites throughout Essex, available through fully outsourced Contract Cover or reactive Agency Cover.

Across the 14 local housing authorities that make up Greater Essex—including Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock—official autumn 2025 figures sum to an estimated 114 people sleeping rough on a single night. This is a snapshot estimate, not a count of everyone experiencing homelessness, and no authoritative complete register of homeless hostels or shelters across the whole area was found. It’s part of the local context for the vetted concierges, support workers, security guards and agency staff we place across the area.
