The Pension Protection Fund’s main function is to provide compensation to members of eligible defined benefit pension schemes, when there is a qualifying insolvency event in relation to the employer, and where there are insufficient assets in the pension scheme to cover the Pension Protection Fund level of compensation.
The Pension Protection Fund (PPF) is the size of a top 5 pension scheme in the UK, managing over £30billion AUM for almost 300,000 members, with a team of over 450 people. We proudly play a unique and very valuable role in the UK pension industry. We are top in our field – because of our people.
We’re looking for a Pensions Lawyer to join our award-winning legal team to provide comprehensive legal advice to staff, senior management and the Board.
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.
