- What to know
- The insurance and reinsurance broking group's early careers page is the only one anywhere in the Howden group, and it sorts applicants by school leavers, graduates and career changers rather than by discipline. It names no actuarial route: its one use of the word is a general industry sentence saying you may have heard of some of the roles, brokers, underwriters, claims handlers, and actuaries. So treat this as a broking scheme an actuarial career can start from rather than an actuarial scheme. All degrees are welcome. Howden acquired Barnett Waddingham on 7 April 2025, in Howden's own words creating one of the largest pensions and employee benefits firms in the UK, and barnett-waddingham.co.uk now redirects wholesale to Howden's Barnett Waddingham page; the pensions actuarial teams that page describes sit inside Howden UK, but no Howden page says this scheme routes into them. That page also says prospective candidates can still search and apply through the existing Careers Portal while Howden transitions to a single careers board: that portal, the Oracle one Barnett Waddingham always used, carried 17 live UK vacancies on 8 September 2026 and every one was an experienced hire. Howden's own Workday board carried no live UK actuarial early-careers posting the same day.
