University of Sussex staff can come along to a workshop about their pension scheme with an independent expert next week.

Colleagues in the University of Sussex Pension Savings Scheme (USPSS) can attend one of two sessions:

The sessions will be run by Rebecca Dodd, an independent expert on pensions at Mercer.

Pensions are important no matter if you’re just starting out in your career or nearing the end of it. And, if you’re like most people, learning just a little bit more and knowing your options can make you a lot more confident that you’re on the right track.

These workshops will cover everything you want to know, from what the pension scheme is, to your options and what’s new. If you have a question, this is where you will get the answer.

We hope you take advantage of this opportunity to understand your options so that you can have confidence in the choices you are making.

In the meantime, if you have any queries about your pension please contact Pensions Manager, Tracey Llewellyn or email the Pensions Team at pensions@sussex.ac.uk.
