Also consider the case where you move jobs or are made redundant. I would guess you would probably lose these benefits.

My wife has pension with local college



One of the huge benefits is that in the event of death prior to retiring it pays 3 times salary



I also work for a different college and considering starting a pension with them - i'm also considering small life policy - is it likely i would get same benefit?



it would kill two birds with one stone so to speak :o)


P.S. Would a college pension be considered 'government' or 'private' pension?



I assume it's private pension but my wife thinks otherwise



What do the trustees say ?

It'll be an occupational pension.

Also consider the case where you move jobs or are made redundant. I would guess you would probably lose these benefits.
