Did you know that UK companies have over £1 trillion invested in pension schemes? It’s a huge sum but is it enough for them to meet their pension obligations in the future? Having provided expert pensions advice for over 60 years, our Actuarial Teams know exactly how to help companies and trustees answer that question.

Our teams are uniquely equipped to help clients manage the immediate and long-term risks involved in running a pension scheme. Join us as an Actuarial Apprentice to play an increasingly influential role.

Knowledge

Delivering client value drives everything we do at Aon. Likewise, it will drive everything you do as an Apprentice here. Your role will focus on client service administration, supporting the client management activities of more senior team members.

Get ready to make an instant impact as you demonstrate your passion for customer service. You’ll quickly learn what we do as you build strong working relationships and develop valuable skills from day one. In return, you’ll be fully supported to study for a qualification from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, to go with your salary and benefits package.

Responsibilities will include:

• Supporting client-facing advisory activities through accurate actuarial calculations

• Learning quickly on the job, through formal training and from senior colleagues around you
