Default Count occurance of multiple text criteria

Try

=SUM(COUNTIF(B2:B955,{"*Pension*","*Scheme*"}))

OR for whole cell match
=SUM(COUNTIF(B2:B955,{"Pension","Scheme"}))

Im using the formula

=SUM(LEN(B2:B955)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B2:B955,"Pension","")))/LEN("Pension")

This works fine to count the number of occurances for the word Pension but
Im stuck when trying to count using multiple criteria eg the the Pension and
the word Scheme.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
