We are the Nucleus Group Services Limited and we help make retirement more rewarding. Here at Nucleus, people come first – whether it’s our colleagues, or the advisers and customers we support – we know that working in partnership and collaboration leads to the best outcomes.

Our ambition is to create a platform with a difference, putting the customer centre stage and starting from scratch. We’ve come a long way since then, but our mission remains just as focused. That’s why our culture, values and social responsibility stay at the top of our agenda – because we know they matter and have a big impact.

We want an environment where our people feel that they can make a real difference, know they’ll be rewarded for their efforts, and enjoy themselves at work.

We care about inclusion. It’s not a tick‑box exercise; inclusion and diversity are embedded in our culture and everything we do. It’s a commercial imperative, a strategic priority and a foundation for a fair, balanced and transparent financial services sector.

We believe that more diversity means broader experience, a wider set of perspectives and a better collective ability to problem‑solve. It also means being more representative of customer groups, which supports product development and innovation.

We offer a generous blend of benefits for the things that really matter to our people, including a non‑contributory pension, bonus, enhanced parental leave, paid time off for emergencies, health and wellbeing initiatives and flexible working options.
