Everything we do at Aon is built around delivering great client service and value. Your role will be no different. You'll provide vital support to senior team members in their client management activities, ensuring employers pension schemes are run efficiently and professionally. As a Client Management Apprentice, you can make an immediate impact by demonstrating a real passion for customer service and developing the skills needed to become a valued advisor to our clients.

What Your Day Could Look Like

• Supporting the delivery of client plans and project management
• Assisting in day-to-day retirement services, including drafting reports and newsletters for trustees
• Attending and planning face-to-face client meetings or conference calls, taking minutes, and managing the follow up actions
• Playing an active part in delivering client satisfaction, retention and profitability
• Carrying out administrative tasks contributing to the retirement and investment consulting process

Your Development As An Aon Apprentice

You will be enrolled onto our Development Programme when you join. This programme is built around three core elements:

• Business learning – on‑job learning and experiences giving you the opportunity to develop your knowledge and understanding of the team and solution line you have joined
• Centralised learning – UK apprentices complete an Aon Induction, monthly webinars, business skills training and workshops, all designed to help you develop your knowledge of Aon, build your confidence and your network across our business
• Professional Qualifications – we want you to be as successful as possible, so we’ll fully support you through the Level 4 Junior Management Consultant programme. A Junior Management Consultant plays a critical role in managing the day‑to‑day operation of workplace pension schemes and is likely to be involved in a variety of tasks supporting more senior consultants. Subject to certain criteria being met, we will also fully support you through the Level 6 Retirement Provision Pathway qualification with the Pensions Management Institute (PMI) following the completion of your apprenticeship programme, including paid study leave, plus access to an extensive range of study and tuition materials provided by the PMI.

Building Relationships With Aon Business Leaders

Playing an active role in our development, you’re encouraged to make the most of every networking opportunity open to you. The early relationships you build will include:

• Your apprentice network – you’ll meet apprentices from all areas of Aon in the UK, helping you navigate our business and grow a support network from day one
• Your mentor – an experienced colleague who can help you out with career guidance, specific issues or any general thoughts or queries you have
• Business seniors – many experienced colleagues will be actively interested and involved in your development
• The Early Careers Team – here to help smooth the way, open doors and advise you on developing your knowledge, skills and prospects

Your Career Beyond Your Apprenticeship

Once you’ve completed the formal apprenticeship programme, you’ll continue to receive lots of support at Aon. We would expect you to be promotion ready within 24 months and you will continue to grow your career at Aon. You will also be able to continue your studies within the Junior Management Consultant career path. In addition to the interactive development programme we mentioned above, you will have the chance to explore different career paths. Once you have completed your 18‑month apprenticeship, your training and development doesn’t stop – you will continue your professional development taking on more client responsibilities.
