Talk to someone who knows

The Careers Team, based in Oxford, maintains a register of actuaries who are happy to provide independent comment on practice areas to other members of the Profession.

The register contains counsellors from a wide spectrum of experiences, practice areas, ages and employers. With such a diversity of experience - you can find the right person to help with your particular concerns.

How the service works

All our members can benefit from this great service. Here's how it works:

• Get a copy of the register
• Select an actuary who has the experience that suits your needs
• Make it clear to the actuary that you are calling for advice based on his/her membership of the counselling panel
• Ask if it is convenient to speak. If it is not, ask when you should phone back
• Give a brief summary of information relevant to your particular interest or concern
• Ask the actuary for facts and opinions as appropriate to your circumstances
• Call other actuaries in the register (no more than three or four) for other opinions and views.

Please respect this service

The actuaries offering this service have been asked to have an initial conversation of no more than ten minutes to determine whether they can provide guidance in this instance. If they can then there should be a further telephone discussion or face-to-face follow-up meeting of no more than one hour.

Please remember that this is not a recruitment service so you should not expect to be offered a placement by the counsellor.
