An excellent new job vacancy has become available in the centre of Glasgow. My client is a leading pensions consultancy and they are recruiting for a Pensions Project Consultant to work at the forefront of the team. This is a first-class and rare opportunity for either an experienced Consultant to work with an industry leader, or someone with a strong grounding in technical project work to make the next step in their career from admin to consultancy.

This role is available due to steady new business wins, and the successful applicant will have a client-facing role. Previous technical senior defined benefit pensions experience is essential, along with experience in client management within pensions. Professional qualifications such as PMI are desirable but not essential.

You will be working with clients managing a mixture of defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes. Technical knowledge of cradle-to-grave pensions administration is required, along with a thorough understanding of scheme rules and current legislation. You should be able to demonstrate and communicate your knowledge clearly and concisely.

On a daily basis, you will manage a portfolio of clients, liaise with trustees, actuaries, and external parties to exceed expectations, and work as a true ambassador for the business. Your impact and daily duties will add immediate value.

An excellent basic salary is on offer, along with an award-winning benefits package. You will join a growing company with long-term opportunities within a successful, close-knit team in Glasgow, part of a national setup with some of the industry's best. Remote/hybrid work options are available.

If this opportunity interests you and you have DB or final salary pensions experience, including client contact, please contact Alison Curran by submitting your CV for review. A confidential discussion about this and other roles is also available.

The Skills Gap in Blockchain Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Blockchain technology has moved far beyond cryptocurrency headlines. Across finance, supply chains, cybersecurity, gaming, digital identity, healthcare, and public infrastructure, distributed ledger technology is being explored, tested and deployed at scale. Yet despite growing adoption, blockchain employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: a severe shortage of job-ready talent. Graduates emerge with theoretical knowledge, computer science fundamentals, or an interest in decentralisation—but struggle to meet the practical demands of blockchain roles. Vacancies remain open. Startups compete aggressively for experienced hires. Employers spend months searching for candidates who can contribute from day one. The issue is not intelligence. It is not motivation. It is not even demand. The problem is a widening skills gap between blockchain education and real blockchain jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what UK employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in blockchain.

Blockchain Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Making a career change into blockchain in your 30s, 40s or 50s isn’t just a Silicon Valley story anymore. In the UK, blockchain technologies are being used across finance, supply chains, government, healthcare, entertainment, identity systems & environmental tracking — and employers here are hiring people with diverse backgrounds, not just fresh graduates or hardcore coders. This guide gives you a practical, no-nonsense UK reality check on blockchain jobs for career switchers, honest about what roles exist, what skills are actually in demand, how long it really takes to retrain, whether age matters & how to position yourself for success. If you’re exploring a mid-life pivot into blockchain, this page is your roadmap.

How to Write a Blockchain Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Blockchain hiring has matured significantly in recent years. What began as a niche, crypto-heavy space has evolved into a broad ecosystem spanning fintech, Web3, decentralised infrastructure, digital identity, supply chains, gaming and enterprise platforms. Yet many blockchain employers face the same challenge: job adverts that attract the wrong candidates. Some roles are overwhelmed with speculative applicants chasing hype. Others fail to attract experienced engineers, protocol specialists or security-focused professionals who quietly dismiss adverts that feel vague or exaggerated. In most cases, the problem is not a lack of talent — it is a lack of clarity in the job advert. Blockchain professionals are technically rigorous, sceptical of buzzwords and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals immaturity, risk and lack of direction. A well-written one signals credibility, seriousness and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a blockchain job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a trustworthy employer in the blockchain ecosystem.
