Summary
A bit about us:
Liverpool is home to vibrant, energetic, and engaged communities, people who take real ownership of their local area and are passionate about making our city a better place. We've got ambitious targets to meet by 2025 and we need people who are driven, dynamic and ready to deliver the very best for our communities. Public service is more important than ever, and this role represents a real opportunity to make a difference to our communities by transforming the way we work and placing our residents at the heart of everything we do.
Working at Liverpool City Council provides an opportunity to contribute to your community and make a positive impact on the lives of residents. Our values shape how we work to deliver public services, and how we communicate with the residents we serve. We care about the best outcomes for local people, through our public services.

The Role:
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a temporary fixed term contract within the Liverpool City Council Payroll and Pensions service for a Pension Officer role. This role incorporates the efficient administration of a high quality, accurate and timely pension function for a range of customers and in accordance with statutory, legislative, and contractual obligations.
The successful candidate should be conversant and have an up-to-date knowledge of Defined Benefit and defined contribution schemes. This role combines large occupational pension scheme administration with smaller private pension scheme administration including the Local Government Pension Scheme, The Teachers Pension scheme, the NHS pension scheme.

This role is fixed term to cover absence and will end 30th November 2026
Our offer to you:
At least 27 days holiday, plus bank holidays rising to 32 after 5 years’ service (pro rata if part time) - option to purchase further days
Agile working (role dependent) - a “Flexibility First” approach to agile working, where flexibility is the norm rather than the exception
Part of the Local Government Pension Scheme – option to join the AVC Scheme
Progression - opportunities and training through a wide range of high quality learning
