• Conduct assessments and feedback sessions using practical examples and cases to evaluate learner readiness.
• Stay updated on UK pension regulations and changes to ensure the training curriculum remains relevant and updated.

• Review the learning content to ensure technical accuracy, relevance, completeness, and alignment with latest UK pensions regulations.
• Offer insights and updates to support the continuous improvement of the learning material.

• Command over English Language: Clear articulation, correct grammar usage, and professional vocabulary to ensure credibility and learner comprehension across UK-based processes.

• Strong organizational skills for managing batch-wise logistics, learner data, and follow‑ups.
• High accountability for independent training delivery after initial support phase.
• Pensions Administration domain experience is a must.

Good-to-Have

• Exposure to CPC or APE content or certification (preferred but not mandatory).
• Experience coordinating or contributing to training content development.
• Familiarity with LMS tools or digital learning platforms.

Who can apply?

This role is not limited to colleagues who are already working in training or learning teams within pensions or benefits administration organizations.

We are equally open to experienced pensions administrators who are currently working in the business or operations side and are interested in pivoting into a training role and building a career in learning. What is non‑negotiable is deep expertise in pensions administration, a strong understanding of the regulatory environment, pensions rules, and the ability to work through and explain complex calculation scenarios and cases.

Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex concepts in a clear, simple way are essential. Prior, in‑depth training experience is not a requirement.

In this role, you will combine your pensions expertise with the support of a learning and talent team that brings deep experience in designing high‑quality learning solutions, using modern learning methodologies, digital formats, and learning technology.

Aptia is doing exciting work in building skills and capability across the organization, and this role offers the opportunity to be part of that journey while developing a new dimension of your career.
