Focusing on creating a sustainable future
Actuarial
The Actuarial teams across our Stratford-upon-Avon offices play a key role in supporting sustainable profitable growth – one of NFU Mutual’s long-term business goals. By assuring business processes in a number of areas, assessing financial risk and calculating the reserves we need to honour our promises to customers, our teams play a key role in protecting the business and helping to set future strategy.
Join our small, forward-looking team and you’ll immerse yourself in a world of data driven decision making. Working with departments across NFU Mutual, you’ll use your technical expertise to help drive key business outcomes.
What you could be working on
Join one of our Actuarial teams and you’ll be playing a key strategic role in the financial stability of the business. You could be involved in:
Mitigating against day-to-day financial risk.
Ensuring we have the funds we need to meet our promises to our customers.
Supporting the strategic decision-making that plays a major role in the company’s future.
Assuring the business processes that support profitable growth.
Developing your career
Like the rest of NFU Mutual, we foster a supportive work environment, with a strong focus on both personal and professional development. As well as offering financial support and guidance to gain an Actuarial Apprenticeship or Fellowship to the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, we’ll also provide specific training to ensure you’re fully equipped for your role.
Whatever Actuarial team you join, you’ll also have opportunities to connect with the wider insurance industry and continue your learning on a range of topics through external research, webinars and seminars.
Meet some of the team
Adam Byrne, Actuarial Consultant
In 2016, I was working as a teacher in central London, but looking to move out of the city into a new role. I really liked that NFU Mutual is owned entirely by its policyholders. This means it truly cares about its customers and that was the kind of company I wanted to work for.
I joined as an Actuarial Trainee, with an excellent study package, including financial support for study materials. I’ve also gained experience in several teams, which has helped me grow professionally. I’ve also had the support of a mentor, who helps me to consider how to progress in my career.
Faizan Shah, Actuary Trainee
After university in 2019, I was looking for somewhere to help me with my goal of becoming a qualified Actuary and NFU Mutual offered that. Then, when I came to the assessment day, I saw so much more. It looked like a great place to work, with excellent benefits. The people here are fantastic - everyone’s willing to go the extra mile to help you develop.
The company’s also invested significantly in me - I’m on an Apprenticeship scheme, so I have all the study material I need and training for 20% of my working time. This gives me the chance to apply the skills I learn in real life situations.
Amy Shields, Actuarial Consultant
There’s a strong development culture here and I’ve always had support from the company and my managers to learn, grow and take on new opportunities. I’ve had the chance to work with different departments around the business and been involved in a variety of work outside my “desk job”. For example, I ran our trainee recruitment, helped to design our divisional logo, and trained as a mental health first aider.
The company also supported me in my passion for promoting diversity in our industry. I arranged sponsorship from NFU Mutual to the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries’ diversity initiative, which encourages diversity in the Actuarial profession.
