About us
Fair Finance is a social business with ambitious plans to revolutionise financial services to give everyone a Fair chance. Our vision is to scale our alternative to the high-cost lending market and help reduce financial exclusion across the UK.
Over the last fifteen years Fair Finance has helped over a hundred thousand people escape the clutches of high cost money lenders, start businesses or avoid eviction. Our work has helped influence Government policy and legislation, as well demonstrate how purpose and profit can work together to change the financial system for the better.
The last few years of the pandemic and the Cost-of-Living crisis have really highlighted the importance of our work, and as such we are embarking on an ambitious program of growth and expansion to meet the challenges facing some of the poorest and most excluded in the coming years.
We know this growth will see an increase in our team, management structure and change the way we work. Before we start this growth journey, we want to recruit a Head of HR who can help shape our people strategy, build a team and plan for growth.
