A leading, award-winning top name in the market is recruiting for a Pensions Consultant/Manager to work at the forefront of the team. This is a first-class and rare opportunity for an experienced Consultant, whether in-house or at a consultancy, to work with an industry leader during a period of extensive growth and expansion.

This position is available due to steady new business wins. The successful applicant will be in a client-facing role, involved in strategic work, office expansion, and projects. Previous technical senior defined benefit pensions experience is essential, along with client management experience within pensions. Professional qualifications such as PMI are desirable but not essential.

You will work with clients managing both defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes. Technical knowledge of cradle-to-grave pensions administration, understanding of scheme rules, current legislation, and the ability to communicate your knowledge clearly are required.

Daily responsibilities include managing a portfolio of clients, liaising with Trustees, Actuaries, and external parties to exceed expectations and act as a business ambassador. Your role is vital to the team's success, and your contributions will add immediate value.

An excellent basic salary and an award-winning benefits package are offered. You will join a growing company with long-term opportunities in a successful, close-knit team with some of the industry's best.

If you have DB or final salary pensions experience, including client contact and ideally business development, please contact Alison Curran by submitting your CV for review or calling for a confidential discussion about this and other roles available.

How Many Blockchain Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Blockchain Job?

If you are navigating the blockchain job market, it can feel like you need to master an entire tech stack before you’re even ready to apply. One job advert mentions Solidity, another talks about Hyperledger Fabric, another lists MetaMask, Hardhat, Git, Truffle, and Web3.js — and that’s before you scroll past three LinkedIn posts about “top blockchain skills for 2026.” It’s no wonder job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth that many hiring managers quietly agree on: 👉 You don’t need to know every blockchain tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones for the role you’re targeting — and how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but context and capability matter more. This guide breaks down exactly how many blockchain tools you need to learn, which ones matter for specific roles, and how to position what you know so hiring managers take notice.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Blockchain Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers in blockchain tech do not start by reading every line of your CV. They scan for credibility, clarity and relevance, and they make an early judgement about whether you can solve real problems in a cutting-edge, evolving landscape. In blockchain and distributed ledger roles—whether in core protocol teams, smart contract development, Web3 infrastructure, compliance/security, or product-focused positions—the strongest applications make the right signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This in-depth guide explains exactly what hiring managers in UK blockchain jobs look for first, how they assess CVs, cover letters and portfolios, and why strong candidates sometimes get overlooked. Use it as a practical checklist before you apply for roles on www.blockchainjobs.uk

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.
