Support Staff

 

All non-teaching staff employed in schools are eligible to join the Local Government Pension Scheme. Staff employed with a contract of 3 months or more are automatically admitted to the scheme unless making an 'opt-out' election. However, employees with a contract of employment that is less than 3 months duration are also able to elect to join the Scheme by completing a new member form.

The Scheme is a defined benefit occupational pension scheme with the employer making a contribution towards the cost of benefits. Employee contributions are deducted direct from salary and contribution rates range from 5.5% to 12.5% of your actual pensionable pay (rather than your full-time equivalent salary).
