Intern - Actuarial Programme Brighton & Hove - 2026

Legal & General (L&G) is a leading UK financial services group and major global investor. 

We’ve been safeguarding people’s financial futures since 1836, and strive to build a better society, while improving the lives of our customers and creating value for shareholders. 

We are one of the world’s largest asset managers and provide powerful asset origination capabilities. Together, these underpin our retirement and protection solutions: we are an international player in pension risk transfer, in UK and US life insurance, and in UK workplace pensions and retirement income.  

Joining us means helping to improve the lives of our customers and contributing to the success of the business every day. 

Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to earn while you learn?

The L&G Actuarial internship is an 8-week programme, running from June to August. During this time, you’ll have the chance to develop your skills, gain valuable insights, and get hands-on work experience. This is a fantastic opportunity to see if a graduate role in our actuarial team is the right fit for you.

Actuarial work is central to ensuring a profitable, well run insurance business and your work will support the success of a FTSE 100 company. Our actuaries work throughout the business measuring, predicting and managing areas of the business with the aim of giving its customers ‘value for money’.

Over the course of the internship, you will have the chance to interact with different teams, hear from senior speakers and network with your fellow interns. Some of the day-to-day activities could include:

• Performing actuarial investigations and calculations to produce profitability information and management reports for our products.
• Managing the production of regular experience investigations for our products in order to understand the impact of changes in mortality, morbidity, expenses and persistency.
• Delivering the company and statutory financial reporting results to tight deadlines, including the supporting commentary.
• Collecting and analysing market data to provide insight and aide the pricing actuaries in setting insurance prices.
• Summarising insurance product performance for presentation to senior management to support decision making.
• Supporting actuaries with product development, commercial deals, and pricing innovation.

But most importantly you will be learning new skills and gaining knowledge of how our business works!

Please note we only accept one application per recruitment cycle for our internship roles so please consider all placement positions before applying, as your first application will be considered your only application.

You will also need to have your own valid right to work in the UK.
