NHS Pension Scheme

NHS Pension Scheme

The NHS Pension Scheme is one of the most comprehensive and generous schemes in the UK. Contributions are tax-free and membership provides valuable protection for your family, including life assurance and a pension if you are too ill to work. Membership is automatic when you join the NHS and as your employer, we pay contributions equal to 20.6% of your salary towards the cost of your pension. We also provide retirement planning courses to help you understand your options for the end of your career.
