**Job summary**:
The Social Impact Investment Team within the Civil Society and Youth directorate is looking for a Policy Adviser to join an exciting and innovative team working at the forefront of impact investment policy.

Social impact investing considers impact on people and the planet alongside financial returns. It is a vital source of investment for social enterprises and other businesses which are addressing social and environmental challenges. The UK is recognised as a world leader for social impact investing, with the UK Government playing a critical role in catalysing and supporting the growth of the UK social impact investing market.

The Social Impact investment team leads on this policy area across HMG and has three key objectives: (1) facilitating access to investment finance for charities and social enterprises; (2) encouraging more mainstream (institutional) investors to engage with social impact investment; and (3) working across government to identify where social impact investment can address key policy priorities.

**Job description**:

- Lead on managing strong, effective relationships in and out of government, including with leading social impact investment organisations, such as Big Society
- Capital and Access - The Foundation for Social Investment, amongst many others.
- Supporting cross-government engagement to ensure social impact investment policy plans meet wider government priorities, and can support government to achieve its objectives.
- Where relevant, conduct independent policy research on social impact investment to develop policy proposals which look to improve the efficiency and scale of the market.
- Act as a lead source of expertise on this policy area to Senior Officials and Ministers, as well as leading on drafting timely responses to cross-government commissions, writing briefings and submissions for ministers on wide-ranging topic areas.

**Person specification**:
Essential Requirements:

- Working Together: Form effective partnerships and relationships with people both internally and externally, from a range of diverse backgrounds, sharing information, resources and support.
- Communicating and Influencing: Communicate purpose and direction with clarity, integrity and enthusiasm. Take complex information and explain it a way that is easy to understand. Respect the needs, responses and opinions of others. The ability to build trust and work closely with senior stakeholders.

Desirable Skills:

- Previous experience working in financial services, and in particular within social impact investment
- Previous experience of working in/with the civil society sector, with some knowledge of charity and/or social enterprise policy
- Understanding of policies related to investment and the social sector
- Experience of working in partnership with public bodies and senior private sector leaders
- Knowledge and experience of government funding programmes and delivery

**Behaviours**:
We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:

- Making Effective Decisions
- Working Together
- Communicating and Influencing
- Delivering at Pace
