An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Pensions Officer to join our Member Services Team at Norfolk Pension Fund.

You will play an important part in delivering a high-quality service to members of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS). You will process casework accurately and efficiently, ensuring all work is completed in line with relevant legislation and scheme rules.

Norfolk Pension Fund administers the LGPS for over 436 employers and around 100,000 members and beneficiaries, managing assets worth more than £6 billion.

You will contribute to the effective delivery of pension services through strong case management, attention to detail, and excellent customer service.

As a Pensions Officer, you will:

  • Support the day-to-day delivery of member services for active and deferred members.
  • Maintain and update member records with accuracy and attention to detail, supporting the effective management and delivery of pension benefits and services.
  • Ensure casework is completed accurately and within agreed timescales, in line with LGPS regulations, HMRC requirements, performance standards, and best practice.
  • Process short-service leaver cases accurately and efficiently, applying LGPS regulations and scheme procedures.
  • Liaise with pension providers and members to obtain and process details of previous pension rights.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for someone who:

  • Has good numeracy, literacy, and problem-solving skills.
  • Holds GCSE Maths and English (or equivalent).
  • Has experience in a customer-focused service delivery, pensions, or business support role.
  • Has good IT skills, including Microsoft Word and Excel.
  • Communicates effectively both verbally and in writing.
  • Delivers excellent customer service with accuracy and attention to detail.

Experience in pensions case management, or customer service delivery would be advantageous.

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.
