About Police Care UK Police Care UK is the national, independent charity supporting serving and veteran members of the police community, and their families, when they've been physically or psychologically harmed through policing. Demand for our services has grown by more than 400% in the last decade. This reflects the increasing impact of trauma in modern policing - from major incidents and serious violence to cumulative and vicarious trauma. We understand that harm doesn't end with a shift, and that families are often affected too. We've evolved from a traditional benevolent fund into a sector-leading organisation delivering evidence-informed support, trauma-focused recovery services and practical prevention programmes across UK policing. Our work is grounded in compassion, clarity and evidence, and we're fiercely independent so we can focus on what people really need. Our vision is simple: a future where every member of the police community has access to the care and support they need, and nobody faces the impact of harm alone.

Embed strong KPI frameworks, dashboards and impact reporting across the charity. Ensure high standards of data governance, integrity and compliance. Innovation and Service Development Lead our innovation pipeline, from discovery and prototyping to pilot evaluation and scaling. Embed co-production with beneficiaries and policing partners. Develop business cases and secure funding for new initiatives. Monitoring, Evaluation and Impact Oversee our success measurement framework and ensure outcomes are evidenced and clearly articulated.
