Our people

Our people are key to the success of our business and we are exceptionally proud of their loyalty and commitment to delivering a quality, efficient client service. People who join BW tend to stay, thriving in a professional learning environment and caring, friendly culture, underpinned by WorkSmart, our flexible working approach.

Our employees have a depth of consulting expertise and a breadth of administrative skills, supported by the latest technology that allows us to tackle a wide range of work – from advising small clients to dealing with large pension schemes and employers.

How we work

From day one you will be an integral part of the business, working in our actuarial teams who advise various bodies and organisations including pension plan trustees, insurers and employers.

As a new recruit you will have the opportunity to work closely with the partners and other experienced employees offering you excellent development opportunities. You will be encouraged to show initiative and develop areas of responsibility that are not directly related to client work, raising both your own and your team’s profile, whilst gaining good experience.

Your professional and personal development is important to us and we are strongly committed to developing our employees. As a Trainee Consultant, you will work towards qualification and we will give you every support to achieve this, including offering a generous study package. As well as supporting your studying, your mentor will review your work- based experience and help you identify the development opportunities available, with the aim of enabling you to reach your full potential. In addition, we will help you to develop your technical and consulting skills with regular performance development reviews, internal courses and most importantly, experience.

The social side

Social activity and social responsibility is taken seriously across the firm; from inter- office sporting events to the annual summer party. Sporting events include bowls, cricket, croquet, football, golf, poker, netball, pool and table tennis. The non-sporting side is equally active and includes walking weekends, excursions to UK and European cities, wine and beer tasting, charity events, book club and picnics. As a firm, we recognise that we have an impact that goes beyond our core activities supporting a wide range of initiatives ensuring our impact is a positive one. There is something for everyone to choose from, but suggestions for further social events are always welcome!

Who we look for

You will have a minimum of a 2:1 degree and an A grade in A-level Maths or equivalent qualifications. Excellent communication skills are essential, together with a positive and enthusiastic attitude.
