About Your Team
The Protected Benefits Team within the Client Experience Platform (CEP) supports and maintains pension administration services for a diverse portfolio of corporate clients. The team provides end-to-end support to pension scheme members throughout the administration lifecycle, while also delivering specialist services to trustees and members when required.
The team is responsible for the administration and calculation of Protected Tax-Free Cash (PTFC) entitlements and the processing of Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GMP) and Relevant Scheme Test (RST) cases that support members through their retirement journey.

As a Senior Administrator within the Protected Benefits Team, you will:
- Process and validate PTFC, GMP, and RST cases accurately and efficiently.
- Process retirement disinvestment requests received from members and trustees.
- Conduct detailed case assessments to ensure pension records are accurate and reflect PTFC and GMP/RST entitlements correctly.
- Ensure all transactions are completed in line with established procedures and controls.
- Support complex pension administration activities, including rework and rectification projects.
- Review cases to identify discrepancies, errors, and opportunities for correction.
- Effectively manage and prioritise your workload while supporting wider team objectives.
- Provide guidance and support to colleagues, particularly in the absence of management.
- Maintain a strong understanding of GMP, PTFC, and RST processes and their application across pension schemes.
- Escalate risks, issues, and potential service impacts promptly and appropriately.
