What is the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS)

The LGPS is available for local government employees in England and Wales who have a contract of employment of over three months duration (including employees entitled to join the scheme under an admission agreement).

It is also open to non-teaching staff of further education colleges and the University of Derby. 

Teachers, Firefighters and Police Officers are excluded from the LGPS as they have their own schemes. You can find out more about pensions for teachers by using the link in the related links section.

The LGPS in Derbyshire is administered by the County Council's Pension Section at County Hall.
