At NFU Mutual, we’re proud to be a leading UK insurer with a rich heritage built on trust, integrity and a genuine commitment to supporting our customers and communities. Our Financial Risk team plays a central role in ensuring the organisation remains financially strong, well-capitalised and resilient in an ever‑changing regulatory and economic environment. We work closely with teams across the business to monitor, assess and communicate key financial risks, ensuring decisions are grounded in robust analysis and aligned to risk appetite.
As an intern, you’ll get hands‑on experience supporting this work, learning from experts and contributing to meaningful projects from day one. About the Internship Our Financial Risk Actuary Internship offers you the opportunity to experience real actuarial work within a highly supportive and collaborative team. You’ll add value in real life projects and gain in exposure: With‑Profits Business Management Payout Ratio Automation You’ll support the automation of payout ratio monitoring — a key measure comparing policy payouts to the underlying policy value/asset share.
This will involve helping develop or enhance tools, improving calculation approaches, and making the monitoring process faster, more efficient and more robust. R Model for Bonuses You’ll help test and validate key components of our R‑based bonus model, ensuring accuracy, reliability and good governance in the With‑Profits bonus‑setting process. Life Capital Management Capital Management Exposure You’ll gain hands‑on experience across a range of ad‑hoc capital management activities within the Life business. This may include supporting life calibration exercises, liquidity management analysis, and capital usage insights that help inform business and regulatory decision‑making.
You don’t need previous insurance or actuarial experience to apply. We’re far more interested in your potential. Any kind of work experience is valuable — whether that’s a part-time role in retail or hospitality, an office-based placement, volunteering or involvement in a society or team. If you’ve had to analyse information, manage competing priorities, communicate clearly or take ownership of a task, you’ve already started building skills that matter in this role.
We’re particularly looking for:
Analytical and numerical skills – comfortable working with data, spotting trends, and drawing meaningful conclusions.
Problem-solving ability – approaching challenges logically and creatively
Communication and storytelling – the ability to explain complex ideas clearly and bring data to life for different audiences.
Attention to detail and accuracy – producing accurate and reliable work Learning mindset – eager to learn and curiosity and a genuine desire to develop your knowledge throughout the programme.
Data confidence and digital literacy – comfortable working with data and eager to build your skills with tools and software used in actuarial work.
What matters most is your enthusiasm to learn and develop. If you bring curiosity, drive, and a willingness to learn, we’d love to hear from you.
