I work as a doorman and as you can imagine I get home really late/really early and always tended to reach for the nearest thing to hand when I got home if I was hungry. Is there anything I can pre-prepare or have to hand that's satisfying but most of all healthy at such an ungodly hour? Sandwich iideas/light snacks that kind of thing?

An egg pizza can be prepared in advance and eaten cold or popped in the microwave for a couple of minutes when you come home
Two eggs to make the omelette base it needs to be quite firm when you have cooked it in the frying pan.
Spread it with some tomato sauce or puree then top it with whatever you like.. eg tomato, peppers, mushrooms, ham, salami.cooked chicken, crispy cooked bacon, cooked sausage mozzarella cheese, and some grated cheddar cheese for the top.... put under the grill or in the oven until the cheese has melted wrap in foil when cool and put in the fridge until you are ready to eat it

How about bacon, egg and mushrooms. A breakfast without bread

Not so much a snack, per se, but I like a slice of ham (from the deli, plastic bag or similar put between slices and put in freezer) and a couple of slices of the DairyLee-type cheese slices, then rolled up. Lovely, low carb and protein :)

Can be made in advance and kept in plastic bag in fridge ;)

There are many recipes for low carb breakfast casseroles and they are very good eaten cold or microwaved. Just make sure it is low carb.
