About L&Q
L&Q is one of the UK's largest housing associations, providing homes to more than 250,000 residents. Our purpose is to provide social homes and landlord services that everyone can be proud of.
About the Role
We are seeking an outstanding leader to join our Group Board and Chair our Asset & Development Committee at a pivotal moment for both L&Q and the housing sector.
As a Group Board Member and Committee Chair, you will provide strategic leadership and oversight across one of the country's largest housing portfolios. This is an opportunity to influence major investment decisions affecting both the stewardship of existing homes and the delivery of new homes and regeneration projects that will serve communities for generations to come.
The Asset & Development Committee plays a critical role in supporting the Board's oversight of asset management, investment, development, regeneration, sustainability, building safety and long-term portfolio performance. As Chair, you will lead the Committee in providing robust challenge, scrutiny and assurance, ensuring that L&Q's homes remain safe, good-quality and fit for the future whilst supporting the delivery of a substantial development and regeneration programme.
