Responsibilities:

This apprenticeship is a chance to start building your career while learning on the job. You do not need to have previous office or pensions experience - we will support you as you develop your skills.  Working closely with experienced colleagues in our Reigate Retirement team, you’ll:

• Learn how to use data, maths and technology to help solve real client problems
• Support analysts and consultants with calculations, project work and client advice
• Develop your technical skills step by step, with support from your team, buddy and training provider

• Contribute to work that supports pension schemes and the people who rely on them
• Explore different areas of retirement and actuarial work as your knowledge grows
• Join a welcoming community of colleagues in our Reigate office and across WTW

We’re looking for people who are curious, motivated and ready to learn. You’ll be supported throughout the two to three year apprenticeship programme as you build your confidence, knowledge and professional skills. To be considered, you’ll need:

• At least three A-Levels, including a B in Maths
• An interest in working with numbers, problem solving and understanding how data can be used
• A positive attitude to learning new things and asking questions
• Good communication skills and a willingness to work with others as part of a team
