You will work with experienced colleagues on real client projects, helping employers and pension scheme trustees understand their financial commitments, manage risk and make informed decisions.

You will be employed on a permanent basis from the start and supported to study towards qualification as a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA).

• Help clients understand accounting, tax and legislative changes that affect their pension schemes

• Prepare clear analysis and communications for colleagues and clients

• Attend client meetings, explain the team’s work and follow up agreed actions

• Contribute to proposals for new business and share ideas that could improve the way we work

Your responsibilities will grow as your knowledge, skills and confidence develop.

• What we’re looking for

• An interest in mathematics, finance, business and solving problems

• Ability to analyse information carefully and explain your thinking clearly

• A willingness to learn technical, consulting and workplace skills

• The ability to organise your time across client work, training and professional study

• Confidence to ask questions, use feedback and seek support when needed

• People who work collaboratively and value different perspectives

• Communicate clearly and listen to other people’s views

• High levels of care taken over the quality and accuracy of your work

• Constructive responses to feedback

• Those that stay curious and look for better ways to solve problems

• Consistently demonstrate respect, fairness and integrity

We will assess these behaviours in a structured and consistent way during the recruitment process.

We provide combined structured learning, practical experience and ongoing support. You will develop technical, business and professional skills through on-the-job learning, formal training and hands‑on client work.

• Study support and guidance as you work towards the IFoA qualification

• A graduate induction

• Technical and professional skills training

• Ongoing opportunities to build your pensions and wider market knowledge

• A buddy to help you settle in

• Support from a Performance Manager with your development and progress
