Advice to Management

Thank you !

Pros

I have had great career progression at the British Heart Foundation, having progressed twice since joining 18 months ago.
Since starting, I've been empowered and supported to take my career where I want it to go.
Where the charity has shortfalls in maturity, the senior management team have a great vision for the organisation, and always look to the experience of its employees to grow.
Positive:
- Flexible working hours (work from home once per week)
- Great cause which the charity keeps you involved
- Experience with working with the retail team and volunteers
- Lots of training; career progression supported by management
- Strong support and focus on the well being of employees (physical or mental)

Advice to Management

Continue to mature the organisation in areas it needs. HR to push career paths across directorates to support those who aren't sure on where to take their career.

Pros

The BHF is a place that's always open to new ideas and trying a new approach. The leadership team, and other people in the organisation, actively encourage everyone to innovate and to aim higher.

Advice to Management

The more the walls of hierarchy are broken down, the better things will become. We're already heading in the right direction, but an honest respect of the views and work of people right across the organisation will help us all achieve more, sooner.

Pros

Pros

Genuinely caring employer absolutely commited to their cause and the people they work with.

Working here you are constantly surrounded by people who are passionate about what they do to deliver better results for the BHF because they believe in what we do.

Team is very much led from the front by example and is a pleasure to work here.

If you're looking for career progression or development the only limitations on it here are the ones you set yourself.
