About the Role:

Our teams of pension administrators provide services to a wide range of trust-based company pension schemes, including defined benefit, defined contribution, career average revalued earnings, and hybrid schemes.

Our administrative approach is scheme-based; one team is responsible for every aspect of each client’s service, enabling us to build the best possible relationships and provide the clarity of focus each scheme deserves.

Ultimately, pension schemes are there for their members; we place just as much emphasis on delivering excellent customer service as we do on technical proficiency and quality control.

Adhering to best practice procedures in all aspects of pensions administration related tasks as defined by the Company.
Participating in annual projects such as renewals, benefit statements, life assurance, PHI and pension increases. Handling any data processing and administration tasks, ensuring projects are fully monitored and completed in line with customer and legislation requirements.

First level checking of work completed by more junior staff. In addition, final checking of non-financial work e.g., change of address.
Informal training and mentoring of more junior members of the team.

Assisting the team with project related work e.g. bulk mailshots to scheme members.
Updating relevant pension administration databases and systems.
Dealing with more complex pensions queries.
Handling both Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) queries.
Assisting in non-client related work such as technical committees, training and events.
Working closely with other departments/teams both internal and external to the Company to provide a total service to our clients. E.g., Pensions Accounts, Payroll, Administration Support and ITM (3rd party IT software provider).
Ensuring the accurate updating of time recording system (Virtual Office) for both chargeable and non- chargeable activities and meeting required utilisation targets.
