Join Our Treasury Team at L&Q and shape the future of affordable housing finance.
Are you ready to lead and influence the provision of Treasury Accounting services at one of the UK’s leading housing associations? This is your chance to take ownership of key Treasury Accounting activities, supporting L&Q’s ongoing financial strength and ability to provide homes and communities people can be proud of.
Why this role matters
Our ability to invest in our existing homes and to deliver new affordable homes depends on robust financial reporting and compliance. This role ensures transparency, accuracy, and efficiency in Treasury accounting at L&Q.
Where you fit in
You’ll report to the Treasury Manager (Operations) and work in a matrix reporting structure with the wider Treasury team, collaborating across Finance and with internal and external stakeholders to deliver L&Q’s strategic objectives.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
