Actuarial Life Insurance Graduate Programme

Job Details

Actuarial Life Insurance Graduate Programme

Programme overview

This is an opportunity to become part of our team which has a strong reputation in the market for bringing our clients bespoke offerings to solve their problems. We are more than just a conventional actuarial consultancy – we operate as part of the wider EY Consulting business, collaborating with teams across EY and delivering projects outside traditional actuarial areas.

This breadth is important given the scale of the new challenges facing the insurance industry, from regulatory change to technology-driven disruption, and allows us to support life insurers across EMEIA (Europe, Middle East, India and Africa) to manage risks, solve their problems and grow. Our support covers traditional actuarial areas, such as advising on regulatory change, investments, mergers and acquisitions and audits, as well as less traditional actuarial areas across finance transformation, artificial intelligence, ESG, and capital optimisation.

What you will be doing

• Providing technical support across a range of areas including actuarial modelling, regulatory change, investments, audits, mergers & acquisitions, ESG and technology.
• Analysing data to identify trends and insights.
• Producing reports and presenting your work both internally and to clients.
• Collaborating with other EY teams across the UK and EMEIA.
• Working in an inclusive team that gives you opportunities to learn and develop your skills.
• Working with clients and rotating around our internal focus areas, allowing you to develop your knowledge.

Eligibility for applying

We operate an open access policy, meaning we don’t screen out applications on your academic performance alone. You will, however, need to be working towards an honours degree in a numbers-based subject like Maths, Statistics, Actuarial Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, Economics, Computer Science or Technology, have a minimum of grade 4/C GCSE (or equivalent) in English Language and Maths, or in your home language if you do not hold English Language GCSE, and three A-levels/Five Highers (or equivalent), including an A grade at A Level/Higher Maths (or equivalent carrying at least 48 UCAS points) to be eligible to apply.

We welcome applications from all academic backgrounds and are looking for individuals who will succeed at EY in the desired role and future qualifications, therefore throughout our recruitment process your academic performance will be considered against your online assessment scores to determine your suitability for an EY role. We are also proud to partner with RARE recruitment, so that your application can be processed in the context of your socio-economic background. This allows us to give you the maximum credit for your achievements, assessing whether you have overachieved in light of your personal circumstances.

Eligibility for visa sponsorship

Please see visa sponsorship details below for this programme, for locations: Bristol, Edinburgh, and London.

Visa sponsorship is available for this position on a limited basis. EY’s ability to make an offer of employment is subject to the UK immigration rules in force at the relevant time. This position is one that meets the current thresholds required for sponsorship by EY.  Please note, however, that EY has a set number of Certificate of Sponsorship applications that can be made each year. If you require sponsorship and this limit is reached and/or UK immigration rules are not capable of being met, this will prevent EY from being able to sponsor you and we will not be able to progress your application.

We can sponsor using the Skilled Worker visa New Entrant salary threshold for this particular vacancy. Your eligibility for the New Entrant rate must subsist for the entire duration of the Graduate programme (please refer to the section ‘Programme length’).

The criteria to be eligible for the New Entrant rate are (subject to change by the UK Government): you’re under 26 on the date you apply; you’re currently in the UK on a student visa studying at bachelor’s degree level or above; you’re currently in the UK on a Graduate visa and your total stay in the UK by the end of your EY Graduate programme plus the date you applied for your Graduate visa will be less than 4 years. Each visa application is unique to the individual and there may be other criteria which mean you are not eligible for visa sponsorship. EY will assess your individual circumstances and we may be required to withdraw your application or offer of employment if EY cannot sponsor your visa.
