Job Description
The Lloyds Living ESG Desk is seeking an ‘Associate (ESG)’ to join its small but perfectly formed team. If you’re passionate about the sustainability and responsible business agenda and have the drive to make a difference, we want to hear from you!
About Lloyds Living
Lloyds Living is on a mission to redefine renting in the UK and help more people onto the home ownership ladder through shared ownership. We’re backed by Lloyds Banking Group, and we’re growing fast – which means opportunities to gain experience, learn, grow and make your mark. We currently own circa 6,500 homes with strong backing and appetite to be one of the largest residential landlords in the UK.
About the Lloyds Living ESG Desk
Established in February 2025, the ESG Desk was created to realise our strategic objective of putting ESG front and centre in the Lloyds Living business. It seeks to embed ESG considerations end-to-end within the business: From the way we invest in new homes to the development of our customer proposition and the management of our homes, doing so within commercial realities and operational limits.
Environmental
Our initiatives include the award-winning retrofit of 23 homes at Winnycroft, Gloucester to Zero Bills Homes standard - winning the Property Week RESI Awards for ‘Residential Retrofit Scheme of the Year’ in 2026 - and providing our customers with peace of mind against rising energy prices, with no energy bills to pay for at least five years.
Social
We support Regeneration Brainery, a not-for-profit organisation that works with young people from a diverse background to kick-start a career in property and regeneration. By sharing our knowledge, experience and career journeys through panel discussions, coffee mornings, speed networking and bespoke activities, we hope to inspire and support the next generation into our sector.
