Local Government Pension Scheme for school support staff
The council offers membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) which provides excellent benefits to support you and your family during your retirement. Membership is automatic unless you choose to opt out of the scheme, and contributions are made by both you and Dorset Council.
The LGPS is one of the most generous pension schemes in the UK. The LGPS is a salary-related, defined benefit scheme and will not be affected by stock market changes or performance of investments.
