About us
Wellington YMCA was founded in 1859 and we are proud to have continuously served our community for over 165 years. We’ve delivered all kinds of services during those 165 years – playgroups, gym and leisure facilities, a cafe, hosted WW2 evacuees…we even had a ballroom with fully sprung floor! In the 1990s, there was a need for housing for homeless young adults and that’s been our core service ever since.
We currently offer 40 units of fully furnished supported housing in a mix of self-contained and shared properties. This 24/7 service is staffed by a team of Enablement Officers, Housing Officers, Maintenance Officers, Night Concierges and Day Concierges.
Additionally, we run the Holly Project, a service for local survivors of CSE (Child Sexual Exploitation) and their families, delivered by people with lived experience of CSE.
We also have 28 apartments at the former New College/Wellington Girls High School site, for people aged 18-30 who don’t need support, but need affordable housing as a stepping stone to a more permanent home.
About the role
As a Night Concierge, you’ll play a vital role in maintaining the safety, security, and wellbeing of young adults in our supported housing service and of all our buildings at night.
You’ll help create a calm, stable environment and ensure any incidents are managed appropriately. No two shifts are the same, and your support will make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable young people.
Your shift will include…
Moving between sites, monitoring the safety and security of our buildings at night.
Remaining alert to identify and deal with any risks or concerns promptly
Responding quickly and calmly to incidents or emergencies
Building positive, professional relationships with customers
Maintaining accurate records and logging any incidents
Completing administrative and maintenance tasks as needed
Our ideal Night Concierge
Is confident overseeing site safety and following health and safety procedures
Can manage or de-escalate anti-social behaviour, in a confident and fair way when necessary
Is comfortable with lone working
Has a positive attitude and genuine desire to make a difference to the young adults in our service
Is calm, confident, and able to communicate effectively
Demonstrates inclusivity, respect, and a commitment to equality and diversity
Has experience in security work, supported housing or a similar setting (desirable but not essential)
Other Requirements
This role requires an enhanced DBS check paid for by YMCA Wellington
This role requires the post holder to have a full UK driving licence and own transport to move between sites quickly
Flexibility to cover additional shifts may be required
Please see our website for more information
