Estuary offers access to a strong and worthwhile pension scheme which all members of staff can join up to.  The Social Housing Pension Scheme is administrated by the Pension Trust and is the leading UK scheme for people working in Social Housing. Currently with over 58,000 members

A key advantage of SHPS is that it allows you to switch between participating employers without any loss of pensionable service, clearing the way for you to follow your own career path, without losing out, and therefore helping to spread knowledge and experience throughout the sector.

The Scheme offers members a wide range of benefits including:
