British Heart Foundation
Our vision is of a world in which people do not die prematurely of heart disease.
We'll achieve this through pioneering research, vital prevention activity and ensuring quality care and support for everyone living with heart disease.
As the nation's heart charity, the British Heart Foundation focuses on three vital things:
- Investing in pioneering research
We fund around 1,200 research projects investigating every aspect of heart disease - from causes and safer drugs to improving surgical techniques.
- Supporting and caring for heart patients
We fund BHF Nurses who visit heart patients with all types of heart conditions in their homes. We provide defibrillators and echocardiograph machines for hospitals, emergency services and first-aiders.
- Providing vital information to help people reduce their own risk of dying prematurely from a heart or circulatory related illness
We produce publications, videos and other materials for health professionals and the public including children. We inform people about how to improve the health of their heart through public information campaigns, advertising and the media.
The BHF is an exciting, energetic and enjoyable place to work.
There's no better organisation in which to build an outstanding CV while supporting a great cause.
We're a major charity, but our structure allows us to recognise your individual contribution and support your personal career development.
For the past 40 years, the BHF has been at the forefront of research into coronary heart disease, Britain's single biggest killer.
We've made considerable progress but there's still so much to be done. Our team of talented people play a crucial role. Join us and you'll work on innovative projects and receive the best benefits around.
Thanks to the BHF major medical advances have been made possible. Through research countless lives have been saved and the quality of thousands of others improved.
However, the fight against the UK's single biggest killer is far from over. With your help, we can work towards a better future for generations to come.
