Benefits and wellbeing 

At TPR, we believe in rewarding our people with a comprehensive and flexible benefits package that supports both work and life. Our full-time colleagues enjoy 25 days of annual leave (plus bank holidays), a 35-hour working week, and the option to work flexibly through hybrid working, flexitime, and varied working patterns to suit different lifestyles and needs. 

We also offer generous parental leave and access to the Civil Service Pension Scheme, with an average employer contribution of 28%. Through our dedicated benefits portal, Edenred, employees can access a wide range of discounts on retail, gym memberships, tech, restaurants, and more, including a cycle to work scheme to support active commuting. 

Learning and development  

We pride ourselves on our culture of continuous learning and development. The industry is moving at a fast pace, and working at TPR allows you to develop a range of skills through working with different teams and directorates.  

We want people to take an active role in their own development and can offer formal training and qualifications, secondments, and apprenticeships to support people in doing this. A high volume of our vacancies are filled internally and we believe this reflects our commitment to developing and retaining our people.  

We recognise that not all career pathways run in a straight line. We also offer informal mentoring and other development opportunities to enable our colleagues to reach their career aspirations, whatever those might be.  

Sustainability and climate action 

At TPR, we know that the future of pensions is closely tied to the future of the planet. That’s why we’re committed to playing our part in the transition to a low-carbon economy both as a regulator and as an employer. 

Our Climate Change Strategy helps pension trustees manage climate-related risks and opportunities, ensuring savers’ money is protected in a changing world. Internally, we’re working towards net zero emissions in our offices by 2030 and in our value chain by 2050. We’re embedding sustainability into how we operate every day. 

If you care about making a difference, not just in financial security, but in environmental responsibility, TPR is a place where your values and your work can align.
