We have a specialist focus on pensions recruitment at all levels across the UK, and this year alone we have already supported a number of September 2026 qualifiers in securing positive lateral moves as they weigh opportunities at their current firm against those in the wider market.
Because pensions is our core area, and thanks to longstanding relationships with partners at leading firms, we have access to off‑market insight into newly qualified hiring plans for this September. We can provide detailed knowledge of team structures, long‑term strategy and workstreams, and we know precisely when firms are ready to review CVs, ensuring your details are only shared when there is genuine hiring intent and internal sign‑off.
We do not take the scattergun approach of sending CVs to every pension team in the hope that something might arise before qualification. Instead, we offer tailored, strategic advice to put you in the strongest possible position to secure interviews. Our support includes CV drafting and review, interview preparation and guidance on the practical steps involved in a lateral move, including admission documentation.
We are currently working on a number of newly qualified pensions roles across all key UK cities, including London, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
If you would like a confidential chat about newly qualified pension opportunities for this September in any of the cities mentioned above please contact Jane Gaunt who will be able to provide you with further information.
Before moving into recruitment, Jane worked as a pension solicitor and now specialises in pension recruitment. She has over a decade of experience of moving pension solicitors at all levels nationally and will be able to support you with your next move including interview preparation and general advice about your long-term career goals.
