## Description

As a Graduate Trainee Actuary, you will support your development to become a future Actuary in Government who is able to produce high-quality, impactful advice and analysis for government and adapt to emerging societal challenges.

This will include participation in our rotation programme which includes:

- Analytical Focussed Placement: Apply theoretical actuarial concepts and modern techniques to actuarial processes to deliver accurate analysis efficiently.

- Consulting Focussed Placement: Work with actuaries to turn analysis into impactful advice through drafting communications and presenting to clients.

- Specialised Focussed Placement: Build upon experience of previous placements to try a new actuarial area in GAD or continue specialising within a certain domain.

Throughout the rotation programme, secondment opportunities exist to work directly with clients in government.

A significant proportion of GAD's actuarial advice is either pensions or emerging policy areas. Therefore, during the rotation programme, all trainees will be exposed to typical pensions work as well as working in a different area to develop adaptability to new problems.

GAD works across a wide range of actuarial areas and we would look to provide opportunities for you to get involved in areas of interest where business needs allow.
