Can I join the Scheme?

The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is available to all employees in Local Government, or in other organisations that have chosen to participate in it.

To be brought into the Scheme automatically, you must work for a scheme employer, have a contract of employment of 3 months or more and be under age 75.

Alternatively, if you have a contract of less than 3 months, you will not be brought into the Scheme automatically, but you will have the option to join.

If you wish to opt in to the Scheme, please complete the forms within this section and return to your Employer.
