Be part of a team striving for top performance and evolving to meet the challenges of scale and increasing complexity whilst continuing to deliver value to our members and stakeholders.
Working at the Fund, a substantial regional fund within the Local Government Pension Scheme, one of the largest defined benefit pension schemes in the world, employees have a wealth of opportunities to develop and shape service delivery.
Whether you like analysing data, project work, or day-to-day delivery to a large customer base, we may have a role for you.
We are currently recruiting to a number of posts within our pension administration function and are seeking talented candidates to support and drive service delivery. Pensions experience is useful but not essential. Candidates should, however, be comfortable working with numbers, be able to analyse and challenge information and data and have strong communication skills.

Why you should work for us
People
Having the right people with the right skills, knowledge and behaviour is fundamental to the work of the Fund and we have developed our People development strategy to ensure our organisation is able to respond to its customers’ needs.
Ensuring people feel confident and effective in their roles is fundamental to the strategy as this leads to improved efficiency and productivity. Our strategy aims to promote an inclusive environment where all employees can contribute to the success of the Fund, as well as gaining satisfaction and reward in achieving their own personal development goals.
Through our “grow our own” we play an active role in providing opportunities to develop within the local community, the knowledge and skills which are relevant to the Fund and financial service industry.
Inclusion and Opportunity
We are an equal opportunities employer offering inclusion in our success as we grow and succeed. As a member of the Employers Network for Equality and Inclusion (ENEI) we aim to:
- Ensure colleagues feel they are treated equally and fair regardless of age, disability, race, religion, gender and sexual orientation
- Develop our approach to being a more diverse and inclusive workforce which allows us to develop experiences and viewpoints to see issues in a different way and create solutions to business challenges
- Provide access to forums and training which support our understanding and awareness to be able to share ideas and initiatives between colleagues
- Support people to feel included, valued and accepted
As a Fund we are committed to ensuring change to drive increasing equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) through evolving our working practices and recruitment strategy and ensuring those we work and invest with, drive to do the same. The Fund has established a dedicated programme of work to develop its internal and external support for EDI.
