The role

On our three year Actuarial Graduate Scheme you’ll build your actuarial skills across a range of disciplines whilst studying to become a qualified actuary with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA).

Whether you know what you want to do in the future or are still working that out, we believe it’s really important to try it for yourself. That’s why over the course of the scheme, you’ll complete three 12 -month rotations across the breadth of our business in both our Bupa Global and UK Market Unit and Group Functions. You’ll have a rare opportunity to gain broad experience into how we operate and be supported to complete the actuarial qualification at the same time.

The functions on offer include:

• Claims Analytics

• Reserving
• Regulatory Reporting

And with support from your manager, our Early Careers Manager, study mentors and buddies, you’ll be stretched to discover your potential.

All of this will help you shape your career and turn you into a business leader. Your progression after the scheme is endless, it just depends on where you want to go next.
