How To Apply

When you’ve found a vacancy that’s right for you, complete our online application and submit it with your CV (in Word, PDF or rich text format) and a supporting statement.

For retail applications, as well as your CV, we ask you to complete a questionnaire designed to test how you would respond to a variety of day-to-day situations in the role. You’ll need to allow about 20 minutes to complete it, but it is not timed.

We’ll send you an email to let you know your application has arrived safely. If you haven’t received an email from us, check your junk or spam mailbox. If there’s still no email it means we haven’t received your application and you should send it again.

If you’ve been shortlisted, we’ll contact you by email or telephone to arrange an interview.

We’ll let you know the format of your interview. Depending on the type of role you’ve applied for, we may ask you to complete an unseen assessment as part of your interview. Sometimes we ask candidates to prepare a presentation beforehand.

The interview is your opportunity to get a feel for the BHF, the team you’d be working with and ask any questions you have about the role and about working here.

It’s our chance to get to know you and to hear more about the skills and experience that you’ve included in your application. We’ll also ask questions that require you to use your judgement, to demonstrate what you’ve found out about the BHF and to tell us why you want to join the fight against heart disease.

We are really proud of the work we do, which is why we can't wait to tell you about it right away.

Everyone joining the BHF starts learning from day one. You will receive an informative induction to understand the work of the BHF and how your role is vital in our fight for every heartbeat.
