About L&Q:
We’re one of the UK’s leading housing associations and developers. We were founded on a simple belief: high quality housing is vital for people’s health, happiness and security. Everyone deserves a quality home that gives them the chance to live a better life.
250,000 people call our properties ‘home’, and we’re proud to serve diverse communities across London, the South East and North West of England.
People are at the heart of our business and our success depends on employing the best people and getting the best from them. The foundation of everything that we are is built on our corporate values and behavioural framework , which outlines our core expectations and should be demonstrated at all times, and all levels, when representing L&Q.
At L&Q, we know that diversity and inclusion make us stronger – and they’re at the heart of everything we do.
When we recruit, we look at what really matters: your skills, experience, and potential. We’re proud to be recognised for creating an inclusive workplace. We’re a Disability Confident Leader (Level 3) and we’ve introduced our own Recruitment Advocate scheme to make sure every step of our hiring process is fair, transparent, and consistent. It’s all part of our commitment to ending discrimination and making L&Q a place where everyone feels welcome.
Sustainability is also at the heart of what we do. We recognise the responsibility we hold as one of the UK’s largest housing associations.
