A new opportunity has arisen to join the Pension Board as an employer representative, and we’re asking for nominations from our employers to fill this important role.
What is the Pension Board?
The Local Pension Board plays a vital role in supporting the Shropshire County Pension Fund, ensuring we are compliant with LGPS regulations and that our governance and administration is effective and efficient. The board meets quarterly, and meetings are open to the public. The agendas and minutes from previous Pension Board meetings can be found on the Shropshire Council website.
What does an employer representative do?
To be eligible, you must work for one of the Shropshire County Pension Fund’s scheme employers, be an office holder or senior employee and be able to represent other employers in the fund.
We have a wide range of employers who cover academies, parish councils, charities and outsourced services that are now provided by private sector companies.
We appreciate that there is a level of commitment required for this role, but we’re here to support you and offer training to help you with this.
