Our People Experience
We’re a community of talented and ambitious people, growing together to beat heartbreak forever.
In our day-to-day lives, we all know how to innovate, collaborate, look out for one another, make ourselves heard and use insight to make decisions. These are skills we can all bring to work, and skills we want to empower in each and every one of us.
We need to be at our best because the vision that unites us all is a huge one – a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. The BHF has come a long way since being founded in 1961, and our story is impressive, however our ambition to achieve more calls on us to work together and engage with communities all over the world.
To do this, we have five People Experience priorities which are backed by various streams of activity;
