UKSBS is a public sector shared service centre providing high quality HR, Payroll, Finance, Procurement and IT services and expertise to our partners. We are proud of the part we play in enabling our partners to achieve the best outcomes for the British people and the UK economy.

It’s an exciting time to join UKSBS as we transform our business to be the leading UK public sector business service provider. We aim to become a very different organisation over the next few years as we move to a modern multi-platform, digitally enabled organisation.

We have a role that puts you at the heart of pension service delivery—where your expertise drives impact, and your development is always in motion.

Our Pension team is a group of dedicated professionals passionate about delivering high-quality service across the Civil Service Pension (CSP) scheme, with additional responsibilities for RCPS and MRCPS events.

As a Pension Coordinator, you’ll play a pivotal role in supporting one or more of our platforms. You’ll assist Pension Administrators while also managing complex pension queries and operational workstreams. Flexibility is key, as you’ll respond to evolving business needs and contribute to ad hoc projects aligned with service priorities.

We embrace hybrid working, with flexibility in location and hours. We encourage in-office collaboration once or twice a week to share best practices and stay connected. Our leaders foster a supportive, dynamic culture—ideal for those who thrive in complex, evolving settings.

• Mentor new Pension Administrators and contribute to team development
• Participate in projects and continuous improvement initiatives while maintaining day-to-day service delivery
• Provide cross-team operational support as required
• Process pension changes on employee records, including Added Pension, Added Years, and Partnership arrangements
• Ensure pension forms and applications are handled accurately and in line with scheme rules and administrator instructions
