PwC look to develop accomplished all-round consultants, not just technically strong actuaries.

We are looking for individuals with relevant experience who are able work well as part of a team, and who are responsible, decisive, clear-thinking and motivated.
In return we will offer individuals the opportunity to be highly rewarded personally, in terms of professional development, and financially. We offer excellent training to our people to strengthen their technical knowledge but equally importantly to broaden their personal and consulting skills. This is backed up by on-the-job development opportunities and a mentoring structure that helps people to develop their full potential right through to Partnership.
