Benefits of working for us

Members of the NHS Pension Scheme (England and Wales), Scottish Public Pension Scheme and the HSC Pension Service (Northern Ireland) have the opportunity to continue contributing into the scheme. To do this you must have been an active member of the NHS scheme within the last 12 months before you started working for the charity and must re-join within three months of joining Marie Curie. 

There’s a Group Personal Pension Plan (GPPP) available to everyone who starts working for us. To join our GPPP you need to contribute a minimum of 4% from your pensionable salary and Marie Curie will contribute 4%. You can choose to pay more than the minimum contribution if you wish and Marie Curie will match your contribution up to 7.5%.

There’s also the additional benefit of life assurance of two times your pensionable salary. The contribution rates may change from time to time in line with legislation.

If you choose not to join one of our available pension schemes, we’ll auto enrol you in order to comply with the Government’s auto enrolment legislation. You’ll be enrolled ina a workplace scheme if you:

• Are aged between 22 and State Pension Age
• Earn more than £10,000 a year (£833 per month)
• Work in the UK

This is called ‘automatic enrolment’. The current contribution rates are 4% of pensionable salary contribution from the employee and 4% contribution from Marie Curie.
