Understanding social value for Social Housing recruitment

At Big Issue Recruit, we know it’s not just about filling vacancies – it’s about creating real, measurable impact. That’s why we’ve built social value into everything we do.

What do we mean by social value?

Social value is the wider benefit created through work – for people, communities, and the economy. It captures the positive impact of helping someone into sustainable employment, from improved well-being and financial stability to reduced reliance on public services.

To measure this impact, we’ve developed a social value framework that translates outcomes into monetary terms using recognised financial proxies. This makes it easier for employers to evidence the difference their recruitment choices are making.

In our first two years, Big Issue Recruit has delivered £2 million of social value, with every £1 invested generating £3.74 in impact.

By partnering with us, you’re not only building your workforce – you’re creating lasting value for society.
