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. This includes surge cover when a Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) is activated, or when emergency winter night shelter provision opens locally. As a result, hostel managers and local authorities in Reading get the same vetting standard we apply nationwide.
Staffing Services in Reading
We supply Night Concierges, Night Support Workers, Security Guards and Floating Support Workers in Reading. Specifically, this covers both ongoing cover and single shifts, available through fully outsourced Contract Cover or reactive Agency Cover for short-notice gaps.
Official statistics estimate that 43 people were sleeping rough on a single night in autumn 2025 in Reading borough; this is a one-night snapshot, not an annual homelessness total. Reading Borough Council commissions outreach, emergency and supported accommodation, but no complete public register supports a definitive count of all hostels or shelters serving the borough. It’s part of the local context for the vetted concierges, support workers, security guards and agency staff we place across the area.
