What we do

We help our partners to design and scale innovative solutions to complex and enduring social problems in areas such as homelessness, education, health, domestic abuse, employment, children’s services and social care.

If you join us, you can have a real impact on these issues, collaborating with partners such as local and national governments, commissioners, charities, funders and the communities and people whose lives we’re working to improve.

I feel really lucky to be doing the work I love in a mission-driven organisation.

Our people

We started as a handful of people in a basement with a big idea for a better way to fund social change. Since then, our big idea has changed the landscape for social funding globally. Now, this is just one aspect of what we do.

We have over 140 people working across the UK and internationally – a unique offering in the sector that gives employees the opportunity to collaborate.

I have been blown away by the people here! They’re very caring, compassionate and empathetic too — Social Finance is built on empathy, it’s the reason why we do what we do. Fundamentally, every single person who works here has a desire to create change and make an impact

Our values

Curious

We unearth the evidence, ask the awkward questions and don’t give up until we get an answer.

Through rigorous thinking, and learning from others, we generate ideas that make a big social impact.

Empathetic

We look from all angles, welcome all viewpoints. We seek to understand without reproach.

We build strong teams from diverse backgrounds, with a shared goal to create lasting partnerships for change. 

Pioneering

We are ambitious for lasting change and won’t stop until social systems truly meet people’s needs.

Change is hard. But by combining social insight, business flair and practical innovation – we make it happen.

Where (and how) we work

Our office is a light and airy space right next to London Bridge. We have a hybrid working model which supports a mixture of office, client and home working locations. We have social events and unplugged afternoons with no emails, calls or Slack messages. It’s a friendly and sociable place to work where we offer wellbeing and support packages.
