L&Q is 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. Today that passion about the importance of housing, and our not-for-profit ethos, gives us our social purpose. All our resources and all our energy are channelled towards providing better housing at a lower cost than can be provided in the private sector – and building more of it. We provide greater security of tenure and services people can rely on. 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. It’s important our 3,000-strong workforce reflects the residents we serve. We have been named one of Britain’s top LGBT+ employers and one of the best workplaces for women and wellbeing.

The Greater London Authority (GLA) is the strategic authority for London, working to implement the policies of the Mayor and support the London Assembly in holding the Mayor to account. We have over 1,300 staff, headquartered at City Hall in the Royal Docks.

The GLA is part of the GLA Group, which includes Transport for London, the London Fire Brigade and the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime. We know London’s diversity is its biggest asset. That’s why we do all we can to reflect this at all levels of the organisation. We welcome applications from everyone.
