Careers at Big Issue Group
Working to end poverty in the UK At Big Issue Group, we’re on a mission to dismantle poverty in the UK through social business solutions. Turning handouts into hand-ups.
With 3.8m people in the UK experiencing destitution, and this number rising, our work has never been more important.
We work to create opportunities and solutions for people to work, earn, learn and thrive. And ultimately lift themselves out of poverty.
As a growing social business and B Corp the Group brings together our Media, Investment, Recruitment, Impact and Support services, all of which operate around our five impact pillars.
These pillars are the heart of everything we do. The issues that we tackle in our journalism. The programmes of work we champion to improve the lives of our vendors and recruit candidates. The investments we facilitate through Big Issue Invest and our political campaigning work to change the law and end poverty in the UK.
Escape's take on Big Issue Group
As the UK's most well-known street magazine, The Big Issue is a unique organisation that helps homeless people by giving them the opportunity to earn an income by selling the magazine on the street. Selling a publication to over 400,000 readers each issue is a pretty unique way of tackling homelessness and poverty, and they're looking for an Impact Investment Analyst to join Big Issue Invest, their social investment arm, to help them identify and invest in the most impactful social enterprises in the UK. If you're looking to use your finance and analytical skills to make a difference in the world, look no further.
