Further Information
As one of the biggest councils in the country, with a proud tradition of delivering services and stable leadership, Durham County Council is facing the future with confidence. In its first 10 years as a unitary authority, we have achieved a great deal. Our success has been delivered through strong leadership, creative thinking, partnership working and sheer passion for what we do.

This is an exciting time to be joining the Council – our ambition is to ensure County Durham is the best possible place to live and work and we are transforming the Council to deliver on this ambition.

Durham County Council Pension Fund, part of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS), has a value of £2.8 billion, a total membership of over 53,000 and 114 scheme employers.

The Pensions Manager is responsible for the development and delivery of the investment strategy for the Durham County Council Pension Fund. This is an exciting time for local government pension schemes with the Durham County Council Pension Fund now being a member of the Border to Coast Pensions Partnership with eleven other local government pension schemes. The Border to Coast Pensions Partnership will operate the investment funds for the underlying local government pension schemes, to invest into based on their allocation strategy. The Pensions Manager will be expected to work with the Border to Coast Pensions Partnership to maximize returns from the investment strategy, reduce investment costs and control risks.

The Pensions Manager will lead on providing strategic advice, information and support to all Durham County Pension Fund employers and to be a key strategic adviser to the Durham County Pension Fund Pension Committee and the Local Pension Board.

The Pensions Manager also leads a team which is responsible for the administration of the Durham County Council Pension Fund. This role requires good technical knowledge of LGPS administration, effective performance management skills and the need to ensure the best use of IT systems to support the delivery of services.

The prospective candidate would be expected to have significant experience of pension fund management, including investments and administration, preferably at a senior level. The ability to work in an ever changing environment working with partners and senior officers and politicians will be vital.
