Real-world work experience and full support from day one
First Actuarial’s apprenticeship programmes provide valuable early-career experience of financial services.
We employ people from a wide range of backgrounds in close-knit teams that will give you the support you need.
From day one, your work will combine real-world experience with the academic content of your apprenticeship. As well as learning from people around you, you’ll have your own study mentor here at First Actuarial.
Throughout your apprenticeship, we’ll give you full study support and a competitive salary – rather than the national minimum wage that many apprentices receive.
First Actuarial’s apprenticeship programmes

Our pensions administrators use their numeracy and communication skills to look after pension scheme members.
As a Pensions Administration Apprentice, you’ll give members information, answer their queries, and make sure their pay is correct.
At the end of the apprenticeship we’d expect you to take a long-term role, with further development opportunities.
“First Actuarial have been beyond supportive, always making my apprenticeship a priority over cases. We have regular group and individual catch-ups, where we can raise any concerns and share any helpful information between ourselves.”
Michael Garland
“My mentor Helen has been wonderful in seeing me through my apprenticeship. We had monthly catch-ups where I could openly discuss any concerns that I had. She also helped me manage my workload to ensure I had time to complete work on my apprenticeship when needed. I have really appreciated her support through this process.”
Zuleha Iqbal
“From the start of my apprenticeship with First Actuarial, every day has been different. There is a vast range of tasks that I perform as an Apprentice Actuarial Technician, and each day brings new challenges and opportunities. Furthermore, each client has unique requirements which keeps the role interesting, even when doing a job that you have done before.”
