Thinking of Joining?
Membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is a very important benefit. Not only will it provide you with income during retirement, payable for life, but it also gives your loved ones financial security in the event of your death or long-term ill-health.
To find out more about the benefits of joining the LGPS please visit our Main Scheme Benefits section.
The LGPS is available to all employees in Local Government, or in other organisations that have chosen to participate in it. Teachers, police and firefighters are not allowed to join as they have their own pension schemes. You need to be under age 75 (under age 70 for coroners) to join the LGPS.
If you would like to join the LGPS please complete the attached opt-in form. Once completed please forward this form directly to your Payroll Department and contributions will commence from the next available pay date. If you would prefer to have a copy of this form forwarded to your home address please contact us on 0845 6027237.
