About Us

The Blue Light Card Foundation gives a lifeline to those who give so much to keep us safe and healthy. We fund and deliver mental health and wellbeing support for the issues we know the community needs help with most – because as former police officers, military professionals, and more, we've been on or supported the frontline.

We believe in attracting the best talent no matter where you are. We promote hybrid working, but we value in-person collaboration so encourage time in our offices. How regular and in which office location depends on the role and team. We don't offer remote-only roles.
