The Scottish Public Pensions Agency (SPPA) administers pensions for Scottish Teachers, Police, Firefighters' and National Health Service employees on behalf of the Scottish Government. We're responsible for protecting the financial futures of over half a million of Scotland’s key workers - that's roughly 1 in 10 people in Scotland.
The office is based in the Scottish Borders on the outskirts of Tweedbank.
The train station is a short two minute walk away and offers regular services to and from Edinburgh Waverley.

Our Culture
"Here at the SPPA we are aiming to build an environment where our people are empowered to develop their careers and take more control of their work-life balance. This means creating the right opportunities for our people to progress themselves - and build a career with the SPPA and Scottish Government.
We are based in a magnificent setting in the Scottish Borders and we’re cultivating a working environment that matches our setting. One where people can learn, develop and play a key part in delivering our Vision – one that is linked closely to the Scottish Government’s National Performance Framework."
