The Vacancy
Are you a penultimate year student looking to gain experience, build your confidence and grow your professional network over the summer? If so, our competitively paid Summer Internship Programme could be the perfect way for you to do this!
Have you considered an actuarial career? Do you enjoy building relationships, solving complex problems, and working with numbers? For those that do, an actuarial career could be an exciting pathway for you to explore - and taking part in our summer internship programme is a great way to do this!
What will your role look like? Taking place for eight weeks over July and August, our Internship Opportunities will give you the chance to work with an exciting variety of businesses and stakeholders.
You’ll be aligned to one of our Business Areas (either Actuarial Private, Investment DB, Defined Contribution Consulting, or Insurance & Financial Services) and will be supported by experienced and friendly colleagues within your team to develop your knowledge of what a role would be like within your area.
During your internship you’ll help our consultants use data to help businesses make decisions to positively impact the lives of their employees. Some of the key activities you will be involved in will include:
Working with our consultants on providing analysis of large data sets to formulate advice for their clients
Helping them to present the results of this in easily understandable formats
Gaining an understanding of how to work with data modelling tools and software
You will also be given an individual project to work on, aligned to your business unit, that you’ll present your findings from to a few team members towards the end of your internship.
One of the best features of our internship programme is that those who do well throughout it can be offered a ring-fenced space on our graduate programme for the following year. So this is a great opportunity for you not just to gain a better understanding of an actuarial career with us, but also for you to secure a graduate job for once you have completed your degree!
If you enjoy the following, we think you’ll love this opportunity:
Building relationships and communicating with people
Working with large sets of detailed data and other forms of information
Solving complex problems
A fun and fast-paced working environment, where you are encouraged to collaborate with your colleagues
Being adaptable and flexible in your approach to tasks
You don’t need to be joining us from a purely maths or actuarial science based subject to excel in this role as we recognise that any University degree will give you an amazing set of transferable skills that are valuable in any workplace. However, we do require you to have the ability to work well with numbers.
In addition to a competitive salary we offer:
A flexible selection of employee benefits, so you can choose a package that best matches your lifestyle and needs
A collaborative and supportive work environment where your thinking and ideas are encouraged
On site mental health and wellbeing support
A commitment to helping you develop both personally and professionally, with mentoring opportunities and access to our award-winning learning portal, Aspire
Regular social activities

Using your personal information

Links in the emails may redirect you to our websites including www.hymans.co.uk and https://hymans.current-vacancies.com/Careers/Hymans%20external%20VSP-2054.

What is personal information?
Personal information broadly means information about a living individual who can be identified from that information directly, or indirectly (for example if it is combined with other available information).
What is the lawful basis for processing?
For our job alerts service, we will rely on your opt-in consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by unsubscribing from the service as described under Using your personal information.
Otherwise, in general, we do not require your consent to process your personal information because we need it for one or more of the following reasons:

You are entitled to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us or by changing the settings on your online recruitment account.
Please see Your rights for more details
Sharing your personal information with others
Sometimes we need to share your personal information with others. We’ll only do this where necessary, and we’ll take steps to ensure they keep the information secure and confidential and use it only for the agreed purposes.
We may share your personal information with the following:
· Our service providers, for example, psychometric test providers, website, recruitment system and IT support providers and criminal background check providers.
· Advertising companies, to enable us to market our roles to those already in our database, as well as monitoring your interaction with the information we send out.
Some of these will involve you signing up directly with the service provider and authorising use of your personal information. In this case, the service provider may be a separate data controller for some or all of the processing they carry out, for example when carrying out criminal background checks. In this case, please check the service provider’s privacy policy so that you understand how they will handle your personal information, what information they will share with us in relation to your application and your rights.
Our service providers may be located (or process your information) outside the United Kingdom, where data protection laws are different. However we will ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to make sure your personal information is protected.

We will respond to any requests received from you within one month from the day we receive your request. Where it is not possible to meet your request within one month, we will still respond to you within that time to let you know.
Please note that some of your rights are restricted, and will apply only in certain circumstances.
