About us
GLL is the UK's largest leisure provider and one of the first and largest leisure social enterprises.
Our aim is to get more people, more active, more of the time whilst making leisure and community facilities accessible and affordable. We partner with local authorities to run leisure centres, swimming pools, libraries, children's centres, spas, events spaces and world-class sporting venues such as the Copper Box Arena and London Aquatics Centre on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park - all under our Better brand.
As a not-for-profit organisation, we're different. Passionate about seeing our communities thrive, we invest back into our facilities, projects and people and are an Investors in People Silver Award employer.
Sport, leisure, exercise, fitness, libraries, events, catering, public services, children's services, training.
To make community services and spaces accessible and affordable and provide a healthy, active lifestyle to the diverse communities that we work within across the UK.
We invest in our people throughout their career and offer formal, accredited training as well as a continuous development plan in the majority of our roles. We like to grow and promote staff from within and we have many examples of people who have progressed through the company to hold senior positions.
