Job description

Tyne & Wear Pension Fund - Senior Pensions Leadership Opportunities

Thank you for your interest in joining Tyne and Wear Pension Fund (administered by South Tyneside Council).

Following a period of significant growth, Tyne & Wear Pension Fund is seeking exceptional candidates for three senior leadership appointments:

• Head of Corporate Services (£100,416)
• Principal Operations Manager (£65,634)

We are proud of our reputation as a high-performing, forward-thinking and ambitious organisation. However, we are not complacent. The pensions landscape continues to evolve at pace, bringing new opportunities and challenges for the Local Government Pension Scheme. Our focus remains on delivering excellent outcomes for members, employers and stakeholders whilst continuing to innovate, improve and adapt.

Serving more than 200 active employers, Tyne & Wear Pension Fund is one of the most significant Local Government Pension Scheme funds in the country. As the fourth largest LGPS Fund in England and Wales, we are responsible for administering pension benefits for around 200,000 members and managing assets valued in excess of £15 billion.

This is a particularly exciting time to join us. Tyne & Wear Pension Fund now also delivers pensions administration services for the Teesside Pension Fund through a commercial contract. This creates one of the largest pension administration operations within the Local Government Pension Scheme, serving a growing membership and employer base. As we continue to build on this success, these leadership roles will play a key part in driving innovation, continuous improvement and service excellence across the organisation.

We are looking for talented and motivated individuals who can bring fresh thinking, strong leadership and a commitment to excellence. Whether your expertise lies in governance and corporate services, operational delivery, stakeholder engagement or pensions administration, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact within a nationally recognised Pension Fund at a time of considerable transformation.

In return, you will be welcomed by a progressive, friendly and talented team. We encourage productive, flexible working and we will provide you with the technology you need to work from our office in South Shields and from home.
