We will offer you a competitive total rewards package, provide you with comprehensive study support for professional exams, formal education & structured training and the potential to advance within a growing worldwide organisation.

We’re also happy to talk flexible working - Aon offers flexible and agile working policies, including part-time opportunities, and we’re happy to discuss options with you upon application.

We can also help shape a role for you that meets your skills and interests. You will have the opportunity to select the specialism of your choice and focus on the right area for you, such as project management, process development, technical calculations and advice or a combination of these areas. Alternatively, you may wish to spend part of your time in our day-to-day consulting team, supporting our Scheme Actuaries or Corporate Pension Consultants.
