**About the Scheme**:
At NFU Mutual, we’re offering an exciting opportunity to kickstart your actuarial career with our Actuarial Trainee Scheme. This scheme is designed to provide you with hands-on experience which may include exposure to financial services and general insurance business across a number of teams including reserving & financial modelling, systems & services and profitability & pricing.

The purpose of our actuarial teams is to ensure that NFU Mutual remains financially robust and capable of providing outstanding service to our customers. Actuaries are at the heart of decision-making here, helping us assess and manage risks, set appropriate pricing, and maintain financial stability. Whether it’s modelling life policies, supporting general insurance, or managing the reserve funds for future claims, our actuarial teams provide crucial insights that guide the company’s strategy and protect our customers.

As an Actuarial Trainee, you’ll have the opportunity to support business-critical activities such as designing actuarial models, investigating data anomalies, and communicating key insights to non-actuarial colleagues. You’ll be fully supported on your journey to becoming a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA). The scheme offers a structured learning path, including dedicated study days, mentoring, and funding for exam entries, along with access to a range of study materials to help you succeed. You’ll work closely with the actuarial team, gaining valuable hands-on experience, and will be a part of the IFoA, benefiting from a professional network and resources. The mentorship program ensures personalised guidance throughout your journey. In addition, as you progress and pass exams, you’ll receive incremental pay increases and rewards, recognising your growing expertise and achievements.
