Career opportunities for recent graduates and students

First Actuarial can help you grow into your true potential

I'm interested

I joined First Actuarial as a Actuarial Trainee as part of a career change and I’m so glad I did. The thing that immediately stood out to me was the supportive and friendly environment, which has allowed me to develop without the worry of making mistakes. You are given real responsibility early on doing actuarial calculations in valuations and pension cost accounting work, safe in the knowledge that the work will be checked and reviewed. Having this system of doers, checkers and reviewers allows you to learn through experience which is the best way.

Becoming an Actuary is a demanding and time-consuming commitment but First Actuarial has the supportive framework to allow you to balance work, exams and your free time. I would highly recommend First Actuarial to anyone considering this career.

Choosing to start my actuarial career at First Actuarial is one of the best decisions I’ve made. As a mid-sized consultancy, it strikes the perfect balance — big enough to offer meaningful and varied projects, yet small enough to foster genuine care and support within a tight-knit actuarial team. From day one, I’ve been immersed in impactful work, making a difference for pension scheme members. I am given real responsibility within projects and comprehensive training to support that, which will ultimately make me a well-rounded actuary. I’d recommend First Actuarial as a great place to work for any aspiring actuary.
