The Land Development Agency (LDA)
The Land Development Agency (LDA) is the State’s affordable housing delivery body. Its main role is to acquire and develop State and other land to deliver affordable homes, supporting the creation of thriving communities and delivering ongoing positive social impact. It is overseen by an independent Board of Directors and has total capitalisation of up to €8.75bn. To date €6.25 billion of equity capital has been committed by Government and a further €2.5bn capitalisation is permitted under legislation from other sources/debt.
The LDA is active on more than 20 State Land sites and has a delivery pipeline in excess of 25,000 homes. The Agency also works in partnership with the country’s largest and most experienced homebuilders and will deliver a further 8,000 homes under its Project Tosaigh initiative.
Additionally, the LDA is working on large-scale longer-term strategic areas by master-planning and bringing forward planning applications in locations such as Limerick Colbert Quarter, the Digital Hub in Dublin and Sandy Road in Galway.
Role Purpose
Reporting to the Office Manager, the Reception and Office Administrator will provide a professional front-of-house service for the LDA and help ensure the smooth, efficient running of the Dublin office. The role will act as a first point of contact for visitors, customers, suppliers and colleagues, while also supporting office systems, meeting room coordination and administrative activity across office operations and property-related projects.
The role is central to creating a professional, welcoming and efficient office experience for employees, visitors, suppliers and partners. It requires a proactive administrator who can balance front-of-house responsibilities with day-to-day office coordination, confidential administration and support for teams across the Agency.
