Job description

Pensions Administrator, 2 days office only

How do you choose which Third Party Administration (TPA) provider to move to next when so many are currently seeking good quality Pension Administrators like yourself?
Maybe you are focusing on salary and feel under remunerated, or perhaps would prefer a bonus that is discretionary because you always go the extra mile but right now don’t feel you are being rewarded for all those extra things you do to ensure scheme members are always happy or your colleagues know they can turn to you for guidance at any time, even if it means stopping what you are doing to help. If this is a reason, this particular client is not confined by salary bands, they pay their employees on merit, not how long you have been there, or in line with your job title.
Maybe career progression is important to you, and a clear pathway forward, not constricted by years of service in a role. Our client will interview you but never pigeon hole you, and only ever be delighted when you say you are ready to move upwards once again, and because they are forever winning new clients, you nearly always can!
Maybe you want to study or complete existing exams and would like funding and focus time.
Whatever your reason for making your next career role, we think you should seriously consider learning more about and hopefully joining this reputed award winning ever growing TPA. They take your professional growth, personal health and wellbeing very seriously. Probably why they only ask you to come into the office 2 days per week, and if this is Monday or Friday you will be greeted by pastries and fruit.

You will join as part of a team of committed professionals who give the client the best possible service. Working on a number of Defined Benefit clients leads to a great variety of work. As you develop you will take on more responsibility for the clients that you work on. This leads to a real sense of client ownership and individual growth as you learn more about pensions in general. This role requires you to be well-organised, have an aptitude for figure work and be able to work as part of a team. There is an opportunity for progression with a structured career path and a full training programme will be provided.

A snapshot of just some of your exciting responsibilities and capabilities:

• Understanding the processes for complex cases such as divorce, members with large benefits and tax issues and complex death cases whilst ensuring that procedures are adhered to at all times
• Carrying out complex calculations as well as checking those carried out by more junior colleagues
• Keeping up to date with changes in legislation and highlighting any necessary changes that might be needed for your clients' communications, calculations or practices
• Continuing to broaden your technical knowledge and expertise
• Showing awareness of special conditions for certain clients and what is scheme specific
• Being involved in efficiency drives for your clients, always looking for improvements and considering the best way to deliver a good service
• Drafting complex non-standard letters where required and checking those drafted by others
• Mentoring and training more junior colleagues
• Getting involved in departmental initiatives and projects that benefit the department
