Pension
On joining you will have the choice to join one of the following Civil Service Pension schemes:
Alpha pension scheme: This is a defined benefit CARE (Career Average Revalued Earnings) pension scheme which offers a guaranteed pension with an optional lump sum, based on the earnings you receive during your career. Both yourself and the MPS will make contributions to the scheme and you will receive tax relief on the contributions you make.
Partnership pension scheme: This is a defined contribution pension scheme and the MPS will make contributions based on your age. You do not have to make any payments to have a partnership pension account as your employer will make contributions anyway. If you do choose to contribute, your employer will match your payments up to a further 3% of your pensionable salary. Contributions are invested for you by the nominated provider and you can use the resulting pot to fund your retirement. You will receive tax relief on any contributions you make.
