Scheme Managers

Each scheme has a dedicated manager who is responsible for the day-to-day running of the scheme. This includes:

  • Maintaining the buildings;
  • Providing advice and support to the tenants on the services available - both from the council and from other partners;
  • Responding to emergencies;
  • Making daily contact with residents (this is optional for the residents).

The scheme managers are not permitted to:

  • Provide nursing or day-to-day personal care;
  • Give drugs or medicines;
  • Collect shopping, pensions, prescriptions or pay rents;
  • Be responsible for tenants' valuables.

Cleaning and caretaking services

Each scheme has an appointed cleaner or cleaning contractor who maintains the communal areas and a caretaking team that carries out routine maintenance, decorating and specialised cleaning of the communal areas.

Emergency support

Help is available for residents 24 hours a day in emergency situations. The scheme manager can be contacted during the day, and an emergency alarm service, linked to Ipswich HEARS, is available out of hours.
