If you work for the council and are eligible, you will usually be automatically enrolled into the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) when you start work.
The LGPS is your council pension, helping you save for retirement while you work.
If you are not already a member, find out how to join and get more information about the scheme.
The scheme is administered by Local Pensions Partnership (LPP) on Brent’s behalf. As part of ongoing improvements to the Local Government Pension Scheme, you can also find out more about recent changes to access and fairness.
Planning for retirement
Your pension benefits become available when you reach retirement age. LGPS members can use LPP tools to check their benefits and explore retirement options
Planning early can help you make the most of your pension.
The Pensions Board
The Brent Pension Board supports the council in managing the LGPS and ensures the scheme is run effectively for all members.

Teachers’ Pension Scheme
If you are a teacher employed by Brent, your pension is provided through the Teachers’ Pension Scheme. This scheme is separate from the LGPS and gives you valuable retirement benefits.
