RESICO is a limited liability partnership Resident Services Organisation (RSO) which was established and run by tenants to provide employment for residents and tenants of Mosaic Homes (formerly New Islington and Hackney Housing Association [NIHHA]) some of whom for a variety of reasons may have had difficulties finding employment in the past.
RESICO provides estate services and cleaning, basic grounds maintenance and gardening, commercial office cleaning, including key holding and provision of consumables, small scale building maintenance, handyman services and temporary admin staff.
Because our staff are tenants themselves, and are familiar with the type of stock housing associations/councils have, we believe they take more pride in maintaining high levels of cleanliness.
When providing services to a housing association, we try to recruit tenants of that association, so apart from providing a cleaning/maintenance/gardening service we also support housing associations to invest in their communities by providing employment locally.
We pay at least the London living wage to all our staff, as we believe all staff are entitled to living a dignified life, off benefits. Also, better paid staff are happier, more motivated and have greater loyalty.
