Blue Light Card offers huge discounts for teachers
Teachers can now enjoy the exclusive discounts that Blue Light Card offers to emergency workers, social workers, armed forces and NHS staff. This exciting development was met with an overwhelming demand, causing the Blue Light Card site to crash. These discounts are given to those who work in essential services as a thank you for their dedication and hard work.
Now, teachers can join this community and enjoy the same perks.
What teaching staff are eligible for a Blue Light Card?Teaching and supporting staff working in any of the following are eligible:
State Early Years and Primary Schools
State Secondary Schools and 6th Form Colleges
Special Schools, Vocational Schools, Referral Units, and Centrally Employed
I’m sorry to say that higher education staff are not currently included in this launch. However, there is a specific site about the teacher’s launch
that may be updated if things change.
Why are teachers now eligible for Blue Light Card?
Teachers are crucial to the community but face significant financial challenges, high-stress jobs, and modest pay. You can sign up for the Blue Light Card directly at the site, but you will have to wait a long time. There are two methods of verification:
Instant email domain verification
: If you work at a primary school, you can verify instantly using your work email address.
Document upload
- : If you work at any other eligible school type, you’ll need to upload an official work ID or payslip that includes your name and school. This will be reviewed by the Blue Light Card team, and you should receive a response within 7 days.
- It does cost PS4.99 to sign up, nut you can easily save hundreds back with the membership!
- Due to a high volume of applicants, processing times may vary slightly.
Are teachers blue light workers?No, teachers are not blue light workers, but they can now get the benefit.
The company’s mission is to save members money and to recognise and reward the dedication of key workers in the community. Teachers are often key workers, who put others’ needs before their own.
The goal is to support them financially and provide access to exclusive experiences to encourage work-life balance and well-being, but the cynic in me says it’s also about Blue Light Card making a tonne of money through new memberships…!
