English Membership of the NHS Pension Scheme is voluntary, but you are encouraged to join. It is important to note that almost all employees between the ages of 16 and 75 will be automatically enrolled into the NHS Pension Scheme. Your pension contributions will be taken directly from your pay and will be subject to tax relief.
If you do not wish to join the NHS Pension Scheme you will need to complete the ‘Application to leave the NHS Pension Scheme (SD502)’ form. The form can be downloaded from the ‘Leaving or taking a break from the Scheme’ section of NHS Pensions website at www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/member-hub If you do not have personal access to a computer, you should be able to access facilities which will allow you to do so at work or please contact NHS Pensions on 0300 3301 346 to request a paper copy.
For the purpose of the NHS Pension Scheme your period of continuous employment shall be deemed to have commenced on the date which would be confirmed by the NHS Pension Agency records.
