Who can use Blue Light Card?
As the name suggests, the Blue Light Card was launched as a way to reward those working in the emergency services (known as the ‘Blue Light Community’). This also includes other frontline sectors, such as social care and the armed forces.
The card is perhaps most well-known for being an NHS discount card. All NHS employees are eligible to apply for a Blue Light Card, including bank staff, support workers and admin assistants.
But the list of eligible professions is probably longer than you think. Most of these job roles come under the umbrella of frontline or first-response, from the police, ambulance and fire service to National Highways traffic officers and Cave Rescue.
Other eligible professions include Blood Bikes, Mountain Rescue, and the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution).
