This is your Invitation to become a Trustee of Golden Lane Housing and help transform the lives of people with a learning disability

It’s a unique opportunity to use your skills to make a real difference to some of the most vulnerable people in the UK

Golden Lane Housing (GLH) is one of the UK’s leading housing associations specialising in housing for people with a learning disability. We provide bespoke housing to meet the needs of individuals and groups referred to us by families, carers, support providers and local authorities. Established in 1998, we now provide a large range of housing types for over 1,950 tenants with a learning disability across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, working  closely with Mencap and other care support providers.

We are looking for new Trustees to join the Board at a critical and exciting time.  We have achieved considerable growth in recent years and we are now poised for major further expansion, funded through substantial capital resources, already in place. 

We are looking for people who share our values: Inclusive, Trustworthy, Caring, Challenging and Positive.  If you have skills and experience in any of the following areas, we would love you to get in touch:

  • senior level housing association or local authority
  • housing management/development/maintenance
  • supported housing and/or tenant involvement
  • knowledge or experience of learning disability, social care policy or delivery

If you don’t have experience but have a personal connection with learning disability or could help us diversify our current Board, we would still love to hear from you. 

This really is a unique opportunity to use your skills to help transform the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in our country.  For more information please click on the link below for the Trustee Invitation Pack. If you decide to apply, please click on the apply button below or email a CV and personal statement to: recruitment@mencap.org.uk, alternatively you can submit them by post to: Lianne Santaniello on, Business Support Centre, 6 Cyrus Way, Hampton Peterborough PE7 8HP. Please ensure that you mark the envelope as Private and Confidential. 

Closing date: Thursday 19th September
