The application system is open from July to November for candidates to apply for all positions. We run Assessment Days throughout November to January, which is a great opportunity to get a feel for Barnett Waddingham.
The application process is the same for the graduate, summer internship and actuarial analyst roles. It starts with completing the online application form, once this is reviewed a number of candidates will be selected to have a telephone interview. The telephone interview comprises of competency based questions and will last for approximately 20 minutes. A selection from the telephone interview will then be made for the assessment day which is the final stage of the process. The assessment day is comprised of different assessments including an interview, case study, numerical testing, presentation and group exercise.
