Join Our Team as a Pensions Administrator

Location: Derby, Derbyshire

Salary: Circa £31,000 based on 40 hours per week (36-hour basis available), plus bonus.


Are you passionate about pensions and providing high-quality service? Would you be keen to work in an exciting, growing, award-winning business in a highly supportive environment? If so, we want to hear from you! Due to growth and our ongoing development plan, we are seeking Defined Benefit (DB) pension administrators to join our dynamic team.


What You’ll Do

  • Provide a best-in-class service to pension scheme members, communicating with them both in writing and verbally.
  • Process casework accurately in accordance with scheme rules and pensions legislation.
  • Maintain and update relevant pension administration systems or databases to ensure accuracy of information and corresponding benefit entitlements.
  • Proactively contribute to the team and share ideas for continuous improvement, with a focus on both removing waste and improving the member experience.
  • Document work processes and provide support to other members of the Member Services teams.
  • Assist with one-off projects.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
