Welcome to the home page of the University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme (OSPS), the pension scheme for support staff at the University, participating colleges and other related employers
Pensions Office working from home
Please note that with effect from 23 March 2020 Pensions Office staff will be working from home in line with Finance Division coronavirus guidelines. All written communications should be sent by email if at all possible as post sent to the Office will only be collected intermittently. For OSPS queries please email OSPS@admin.ox.ac.uk. Pensions Office staff will be monitoring their own email accounts as well and answering their phones. We will try to maintain our normal service but this may not be possible in the current circumstances.
Note:
Members who joined the scheme before 1 October 2017 have benefits in the Defined Benefit section. Newer members join the investment-based section of the scheme called Investment Builder, which is largely administered by Legal and General.
In March 2020 the Trustee of OSPS appointed The Tracing Group to help it trace and verify the existence of pensioners and deferred members as part of its audit processes. Members who are approached by The Tracing Group can be assured that the enquiry is genuine and that it is safe to respond.
OSPS is a valuable scheme which provides income when you retire, plus sickness and life assurance benefits.
Please refer to the below links for more detailed information.
