Member of the Employers' Panel

Remuneration: £2,040 per annum, paid monthly in arrears (£170) | Time commitment: approximately seven days a year | Term: up to four years, with the potential for reappointment.

Please note – Interviews will be held on 3rd of November and 16th of November.

This is a unique opportunity to join Nest's Employers' Panel and help ensure the experiences and priorities of employers, intermediaries and connectors are represented in the decisions we make. As part of a small, established employers panel that provides independent advice to Nest Corporation on the operation and development of the scheme for employers, you'll provide constructive challenge, bring fresh and different ways of thinking, and act as a sounding board on key strategic developments. Your insight will help Nest better engage and shape services that meet the needs of employers, intermediaries and members.

We'd especially welcome those with first-hand experience of using Nest's employer services, managing workplace pension arrangements, payroll systems or employer accounts, particularly within small or micro businesses. You may bring practical knowledge of how employers use Nest's services behind the scenes, alongside the ability to grasp new ideas, think creatively and confidently offer an independent perspective.

We're also particularly interested in hearing from people who work with, and are able to represent the views of younger members, employ others or act as a connector between employers and workplace pension services.

The commitment includes quarterly four-to-five-hour Panel meetings, an additional meeting with the Members' Panel and Nest Corporation Board, preparation time and training.

Don't worry if you think you don't have all the key skills, it might be worth taking the few minutes to apply as we're good at spotting potential. At Nest, you’ll have access to a range of learning opportunities to learn, grow and build the skills you need to be successful in your role and career.

Flexible and agile working

Everyone's personal situation is different.

To make the most out of hybrid working, we've introduced different ways of working, which include (subject to role requirements):

• hybrid of office (Canary Wharf, London) and home working (there will be an expectation to attend the office, once - twice a week, or more, as required)
• reduce or vary working hours
• reduce or vary the days worked
• work compressed hours
• job share

Directorate/Department Overview

As a Panel member you will be part of a small group of around 9 to 12 members that has an advisory role to Nest Corporation on a range of matters that affect the hundreds of thousands of employers who are using the Nest scheme.

This is an exciting time for Nest as we have embarked on a transformation journey seeking to make Nest more purpose-led and costumer centric. We are seeking three enthusiastic individuals to join our already established Employers’ Panel.
