What does this team do?
In Actuarial we are problem solvers and strategic thinkers, who use mathematical skills to help measure the probability and risk of future events. Our work helps individuals to plan for the future, and it’s always challenging and interesting.
Our Actuarial Insurance business provides actuarial services across the life insurance and general insurance markets. We work with a wide range of clients, from large multi-national insurers to small insurers who do not employ their own actuaries, and everything in between.
We foster an open and friendly working environment that naturally allows everyone to learn from the wide range of experts within the practice.
What skills and academic qualifications do I need?
You’ll need to have obtained or be studying towards a minimum 2:1 in any degree discipline and have graduated by September 2027 for the Autumn 2027 intake. An A-level (or equivalent) in Maths is encouraged.
No prior experience is required, however some understanding and interest of the insurance industry, and the role of actuaries is recommended.
We have identified 10 core skills that are essential to all our roles in Early Careers. To learn more about these skills and their detailed descriptions, please visit the 'Discover What We Look For' section in our Candidate Zone.

Where will I work?
At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.
All our workspaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team. You can find further information on our parent and carer policies here.
How will I develop?
In September you will attend our Analyst Induction Programme (AIP) alongside your Technology & Transformation Analyst peer group to learn about our company, culture and how we work. The programme will be a mix of in-person and online learning that takes place over several weeks and includes engaging talks, group activities and immersive simulation challenges.
On a day-to-day basis, you will receive on-the-job training through your work with different actuarial colleagues and colleagues in other parts of the firm on varied client and internal projects. There are also formal training courses and e-learning to help you develop broader business skills.
A role in Actuarial Insurance offers stimulating actuarial work, alongside consulting opportunities to engage closely and directly with clients, plus a strong internal support network and a friendly open culture.
We provide Graduate Analysts with the resources needed to support them through their journey to qualify as a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. Students currently look to pass thirteen exams as well as gaining three years of appropriate experience in the industry. Full qualification usually takes between 3 and 6 years.
If you are offered a role, you will be assigned a buddy who has been in your position as a graduate joining Deloitte as an Analyst. They will act as an informal point of contact, answering questions and offering insight and guidance before you join and throughout your journey at Deloitte.
