Apprentice Actuarial Technician – The Role:

Actuaries help solve financial problems by applying maths and computer skills to model real world risks. Actuaries price car insurance, help companies decide how much to pay into pensions, and act in the public interest on big issues like climate change.

This apprenticeship will give you a grounding in the basic techniques of actuarial work, leading to a Level 4 Actuarial Technician qualification which may take 2-3 years to complete. If you have the aptitude and enjoy helping others by explaining complex things in a simple way, you’ll then have the option to progress further and qualify as an actuary.

The role is based in our actuarial team which provides consultancy services to pension schemes. You’ll work with our expert actuaries to help our clients meet their goals. You’ll receive support to complete the apprenticeship including funding for the qualification, training, and time away from work to study.

Key Responsibilities
