This is the first season we have followed most of these firms, so next year this page will say when each one is likely to open.
Our record follows 20 firms for 2027–28 placements in insurance and actuarial work, and 7 of them list placement roles today, as the firm table shows.
Between them they list 22 roles, and the roles listed are the newest of them.
Among the firms we checked, Aon says its UK placements open in October, and Pacific Life Re and Zurich each set 18 October 2026 as the deadline for their 2027 placements.
Pacific Life Re's listing also says it may stop taking applications before then. Since the season began on 1 June 2026, 18 of the 20 firms our record follows have posted a placement role.
All three firms we checked take undergraduates in their penultimate year on track for at least a 2:1; Zurich and Pacific Life Re ask for it in a STEM degree, and Zurich also takes Economics.
Pacific Life Re also asks for at least an A in A-level Maths or equivalent, takes students who will return to university for their final year, and does not take graduates.
At Zurich and Pacific Life Re, an actuarial placement year lasts one year, for students in their penultimate year of study.
Zurich's general insurance placement starts in June 2027 in London, Farnborough, Birmingham or Whiteley, and Pacific Life Re's starts in September 2027 in London. Pacific Life Re pays £33,000 plus benefits, and Zurich a salary of £24,968.58.
The open roles this page counts are for the 2027–28 placements, for the year starting in 2027, not 2026.
Pacific Life Re's next actuarial placement year starts in September 2027, Zurich's general insurance placement in June 2027, and Aon says its UK placements open in October.
7 firms are open for insurance industrial placements right now, each with its own portal, documents and deadline. Jorb AI's application agent handles the multi-firm workload in one place, tailoring a CV and cover letter for each role you pursue and tracking each application alongside the rest.
“Opened” is the date the firm posted a role, or the day Jorb AI first saw it on the firm’s own careers site, which we check daily. “No longer listed” means the posting has been gone for a few days. Last season’s dates are shown only for firms we were already following when that season began.
Open counts every listing still open, including those first seen before 1 June; Opened this season counts only those first seen since.
