About LANGLEY HOUSE TRUST

Langley House Trust is an innovative Christian charity that provides specialist housing, care and support services in the community, and targeted advice in prisons, for people seeking to live crime-free.

With one of the lowest reconvictions rates in the country - under 3% whilst people are in our housing and care - we are changing lives and making communities safer across the country.

Diversity and Inclusion is integral to Langley House Trust. We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included, and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

DISABILITY CONFIDENT
We're proud to be an
Investors in People Gold employer which means we invest in our people.

This is a huge achievement as our assessment covers the last 3 years of unprecedented challenges through the pandemic; additionally, Investors in People have raised the bar and acknowledge that it is harder now to secure the Gold standard than in previous years as they want to keep it meaningful.
