Employer Member Representative

Looking for an opportunity to shape the delivery of pensions services for the Wiltshire Pension Fund?

The Wilshire Pension Fund administrates the Local Government Pension Scheme on behalf of over 80,800 members, managing assets of over £3.3 billion to fund the future liabilities of benefits.

The Fund's oversight is provided by two bodies appointed by the Administering Authority, Wiltshire Council. These bodies are the Wiltshire Pension Fund Committee who manage the Fund & the Local Pension Board, a statutory arrangement created by the Public Service Pensions Act 2013 (PSPA13) who provide independent governance & guidance on behalf of the Council.

Members of the Board sit for a four-year term & a vacancy has arisen for an employer member representative on the Board. The Local Pension Board is therefore looking for an individual with experience and enthusiasm to be part of the Pension Fund's oversight function and ensure the members' benefits are secure, paid on time and paid to the right people whilst acting in line with the legal framework surrounding pensions.

You will work closely with the officers responsible for the pension arrangements of the Council's pension fund to ensure the compliance with pensions legislation and requirements imposed by the Pensions Regulator. More importantly you will ensure the effective governance and administration of the Fund to ensure that members of the pension Scheme receive the best attention and the service to be expected of an up to date and modern pension service.
