Our selection process is demanding and, in order to be considered, candidates must demonstrate several essential qualities.
You must have the personal qualities required for professional work with high levels of responsibility. These include the ability to -
- communicate well, both orally and in writing,
- explain technical matters in layman's language and
- work as part of a small team with regular client contact.
The self-discipline to pursue the demanding course of study to qualify as an actuary is essential. Qualified Actuaries have to represent the department at a wide variety of meetings with clients including government officials and ministers as well as those outside the Civil Service, so good inter-personal skills are important.
