About the Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented Pensions Administrator to support a key project reviewing pensionable pay records within the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS).

Following the transition to a Career Average Revalued Earnings (CARE) scheme in April 2014, a potential issue has been identified relating to how pensionable pay has been reported in certain absence scenarios. This role will play a vital part in ensuring accuracy and compliance by reviewing historical records and recalculating pay where required.

Key Responsibilities

• Review identified employee records and historical payslips
• Calculate Assumed Pensionable Pay (APP) where applicable
• Compare reported pensionable pay against correct figures
• Complete individual calculation templates and update central trackers
• Apply structured checks using provided guidance and checklists
• Ensure all data is accurately recorded and processed with attention to detail

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to work
• Ability to analyse and interpret payroll data and payslips
• Solid Excel skills, including creating and using formulas
• Strong problem-solving ability

Desirable:

• Knowledge of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS), particularly around absences and APP rules
• Experience using ITrent payroll software
• Background in payroll or pensions administration

If you're a detail-driven professional with strong Excel and payroll analysis skills, we'd love to hear from you.
