PENSION SCHEME TRUSTEE

The Library closed its final salary pension scheme to further accrual from April 2011, but we still need skilled and conscientious trustees to govern it. To prevent any conflict of interest, the scheme trustees are distinct from those of the Library and their duties are to the members of the scheme (pensioners and current or former staff with accrued deferred pensions). Their role is to ensure that the scheme has sufficient funds to pay its pension obligations as they fall due, that these are paid in accordance with the rules and that the scheme complies with legislation and regulatory guidance.

One of the present scheme trustees will be stepping down in September 2017 and we are looking for a replacement. If you have previous experience as a trustee, actuary, administrator or investment manager for a defined benefit pension scheme and would be willing to consider becoming a trustee of the Library’s scheme then we would love to hear from you.
