Trainee Actuarial Consultant - Summer Internship

We run an eight-week paid summer internship programme that offers first class training and work experience enabling you to gain an excellent understanding of the role a consultant undertakes within the firm, how our business operates and the opportunity to learn from our Partners and dedicated mentors.

  • You will be given real responsibility to contribute to client work and in addition you will get the opportunity to spend time in the different areas of the business.
  • You will be assigned a personal mentor and supervisor who will help and support you throughout the programme to ensure that you gain the best experience possible.
  • Many students who have completed our summer internship have gone on to develop their career with us after university as part of our graduate programme, which supports employees to achieve their full FIA (Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries) qualification.

Actuaries come from different academic backgrounds but share a love of mathematical analysis even if they haven’t done a maths degree. In an increasingly complex financial world where greater emphasis is being placed on risk management the actuarial qualification is a gateway to many different opportunities and careers. The qualification is recognised globally and the skills you acquire in attaining it will enable you to work anywhere in the world.

Who we are looking for

A very important part of an actuary’s role is communication, whether this is to convey a technical issue in simple terms to meet the needs of the audience or at senior management level dealing with high-level strategic decisions and guiding clients on key issues to address.

Our current vacancies require you to be on track for a minimum of a 2:1 degree and an A at A-Level maths. We require dedicated individuals with a strong academic background and who are dynamic, proactive and have excellent communication skills.
