Governance & Risk Officer

7 days ago


Keynsham, United Kingdom Bath & North East Somerset Council Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Avon Pension Fund for a Governance & Risk Officer. This is a brand new role assisting the Governance & Risk Advisor with governance & risk management arrangements for the Fund. This is a rapidly growing area for the Fund and would suit a dynamic individual looking to progress their career in this area.

You will be responsible for dealing with all day-to-day tasks within the governance and risk framework and working on governance related projects.

In a typical day this could involve dealing with Freedom of Information or Subject Access Requests, advising actions in response to a data breach, making arrangements for a training session for our Committee members and preparing the training presentation. (see job description for a full list of duties).

You should have excellent communication skills as you will be in regular contact with the Fund’s Committee & Pension Board members as well as colleagues across all areas of the Fund.

Organisational skills are extremely important to the role as well as being able to work under your own initiative. Knowledge of the Local Government Pension Fund would be desirable but training will be provided tailored to the role.

The Avon Pension Fund is a multi-employer fund administered by Bath & North East Somerset Council. With a current value of over £5 billion, it is one of the largest local authority funds in the UK.

Benefits include flexible working, annual leave entitlement of up to 30 days and membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme.

Your main place of work will be the award-winning, modern Civic Centre in Keynsham, halfway between Bath and Bristol, easily accessible via car or public transport, with a train station 5 minutes’ walk away.
