The Pensions Regulator - Determinations Panel Up to four members Location: Brighton ( although it is expected the majority of meetings will be held virtually) £692 per day (time commitment an estimated 8-16 days a year) Can you help protect the savings of over half the UK's working population? The Pensions Regulator (TPR) is the independent UK regulator of work-based pension schemes. It is an arms-length public body sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). TPR works with trustees, employers, and business advisers of occupational pension schemes in the private and public sectors, to help them understand their legal duties and the standards it expects. TPR also works with employers and their advisers to ensure compliance with Automatic Enrolment duties.

It considers evidence and representations from each party before deciding whether to exercise the powers. These are significant public appointments, offering the opportunity to exercise independent judgment, contribute to high impact decisions, and support confidence in the pensions system at a time of continued regulatory scrutiny and change. About the roles Key responsibilities of the roles include: Working with other Panel members to reach fair and reasoned decisions on all matters referred by regulatory case teams to the Panel for decision on the use of powers. Analysing significant and complex data/reports. Maintaining an independent, objective perspective. Providing and receiving feedback on the working arrangements and policies/guidance within the Pensions Regulator, as they affect the Determinations Panel's activities. About you These are demanding and high profile appointments suited to individuals with senior decision making experience and strong analytical capability. You will bring: Proven experience of exercising independent judgment, preferably within a statutory, regulatory, legal or complex governance environment Demonstrable ability to weigh evidence, assess risk and articulate clear, reasoned decisions The personal authority and interpersonal skills to operate effectively with peers from a range of backgrounds A strong commitment to public service and the principles of integrity and independence Candidates with backgrounds in law, accounting, finance, actuarial, investment, regulation or senior commercial leadership are particularly encouraged to apply.
