The primary location for this role is Maidstone, Kent and the successful candidate will undertake hybrid working (both home and office working, according to business needs). We welcome applications from both internal and external applicants.

This role is full time 37 hours per week but we do welcome applications from part-time applicants, willing to work a minimum of 30 hours a week.

The post holder will join our large and successful Pensions and Treasury Service, within Pensions Section. This new post will play a vital role in the shaping of our pension service, ensuring that we are ready and prepared for regulatory change and technical developments that affect Kent Pension Fund.

You will provide detailed advice for our stakeholders, which will include representatives from Pension Board and Pension Fund Committee. You will ensure technical compliance by challenging, monitoring and reviewing processes and working practices.
