An opportunity has arisen for an organised, dedicated Day Concierge to join Catherine Booth House, our busy service supporting homeless families.
Portsmouth Homeless Family Service is based across three residential Lifehouses, accommodating a total of 45 homeless, vulnerable families (which included couples, single parents and pregnant mothers) with support needs.

The Day Concierge is a crucial front of house position, central to ensuring our residents, staff and visitors receive a warm, friendly welcome when arriving at our service.
As well as possessing excellent customer service skills, the Day Concierge plays a key role in the safety and security of our service - maintaining visitor logs, arranging building checks and taking on the responsibility of Fire Warden during emergencies.
