Following on from our inaugural careers podcast, we’re sharing our second careers podcast of the panel discussion from our latest event.
Last week we hosted our bi-annual Introduction to Careers in Social Investment where sixty people joined us in our office and by webinar. I was excited to see the diversity of sectors and professions the attendees represented – what united everyone though was the interest they had in creating social impact.
I gave a brief overview of social investment before explaining the range of roles available for people considering making a move into social investment and some top tips for doing so. You can hear this presentation in our previous careers podcast or look at the slides I used.
The attendees then heard from our excellent panel of social investment professions who reflected the range of roles available across social investment and shared what a typical week looks like for them. We’re publishing this panel discussion as a podcast to give more perspectives about what it’s really like working in the market.
The panel included Tom Davies from Social Finance who works with local government commissioners; Hayley Hand from Big Society Capital who looks at some of our work in place; Jamie Innes from Tribe Impact Capital which is an impact wealth manager; and Natalia Fernandez from Big Issue Invest who focused on making loan to charities and social enterprises.
Big Society Capital is aiming to host similar events every six months, inviting a range of speakers from across the social investment sector to share their perspectives – join the Big Society Capital careers mailing list to find out when the next one will be held.
