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.
We strongly believe that diversity and inclusion are critical to our success as an organisation. We’ll continue to stand for that and be committed to it for the long haul.
L&Q sponsors four staff networks: Spectrum, our LGBT network, Inspire, our gender equality network, Kaleidoscope, our cultural diversity network, and Ability, our disability network.
In recognition of its importance to the success of our organisation, inclusion is one of our five values.
It’s an important part of our social contract with residents and stakeholders that the people in our organisation reflect the wider community. Bringing together a diverse range of people also helps us perform to our best, whether providing great services, investing in the quality of our homes or realising our ambitions to build more to help solve the housing crisis. Building services and homes that meet the needs of our diverse resident community is at the heart of this work. The online resident community and the LGBT resident forum are crucial partners in helping us get this right.
We’re proud of our inclusive culture and want to be a place where everyone can be themselves at work.
Our people can be confident that difference is not only accepted but celebrated at L&Q. We are proactively anti-hate and all our people are recruited, trained and held to account on the basis that discrimination in any form is unacceptable. We support our people to be good allies and represent and amplify the voices of minority groups in the organisation and wider community.
