Welcome

Dear Applicant

Thank you for your interest in the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) Board.

London is a historic city that has awed, inspired, entertained and nurtured people for centuries.  It is a world class city which tops international leagues of competitiveness. The LLDC’s vision is to create a dynamic new metropolitan centre for the capital. Change and evolution are needed to keep London’s place as a truly global city which brings benefits to the whole of the UK through its economy and innovations. The LLDC’s mission is “to use the opportunity of the London 2012 Games and the creation of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to change the lives of people in east London and drive growth and investment in London and the UK, by developing an inspiring and innovative place where people want to live, work and visit”.

Being appointed to the LLDC Board provides a real opportunity to individuals who wish to make a contribution to improving the lives of all Londoners and supporting London’s diverse communities. The LLDC Board is responsible for setting strategic direction and overall policy within a framework set by the Mayor of London, providing leadership and support to the organisation, offering oversight and scrutiny as well as monitoring performance and corporate governance.

The Board currently consists of sixteen members appointed by the Mayor of London.

Between them they have skills ranging from regeneration, sport and community engagement to business, construction and finance. We are currently recruiting a Board member with skills and experience in sports and disability as outlined in the ‘Person Specification’ section of this microsite.

London’s diversity is its biggest asset and we strive to ensure Board reflect London’s diversity at all levels. We welcome applications from everyone regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith or disability.

This information site provides you with background information on the organisation and the roles and responsibilities of the LLDC Board, along with details on the application process and how to apply.
