Help grow our business as we help customers plan for the future

Come and play a crucial role in the success and integrity of our business. As a trusted insurance provider to millions, we must make the right decisions for both our business and our customers. Our Actuarial teams make sure we do.  

By helping customers protect what matters most to them, our insurance business plays a key part in our drive to Help Britain Prosper. We're one of the largest insurers in the UK, supporting around six million customers every day with their insurance, pensions, and investment needs. 

Our Actuarial teams make sure colleagues and decision-makers have everything they need to understand insurance risks, making sure we always operate responsibly.

Is our Actuarial Graduate Scheme for you?

Is problem-solving your thing? Love maths and critical thinking? Training as an Actuary could be your perfect fit. 

On this scheme, we’ll share the full scale of our insurance business and give you a detailed insight into everything that being an Actuary has to offer. Think insurance is dull? Think again. The work is fascinating, challenging and full of variety. 

You’ll take complex information and turn it into plain English for non-specialist colleagues. So, you’ll need to be a good communicator, and always be looking to learn, ready to work hard to make a positive difference to our business and customers. 

An important part of this scheme will involve completing Actuarial exams aimed at providing you with the knowledge and skills to be successful in your role and qualify as an Actuary.  But don’t worry, we’ll provide you with industry leading study support, to help you every step of the way.

  • Monitoring and reporting on our business performance.
  • Making sure we’re up to date with industry regulations.
  • Monitoring the risks posed by climate change. 

You’ll be matched up with a buddy or mentor to support you and offer guidance throughout the scheme, and you’ll have access to technical and business-aligned training, including platforms such as Viva Learning and Learning Management systems, to further help your development. 

With opportunities for extracurricular activities to expand your skills and experience across the bank, and with introductions to colleague networks, you’ll make great connections to further your career.
