Junior Management Consultant Higher Apprenticeship

Difference makers

Begin your career with WTW where every step is an opportunity. Join a company with global scale and diverse perspective where you can deepen our collective insight, set the bar high and succeed your way.

Whichever early careers program you join, you’ll go into a role with real responsibilities, exposure to client assignments and the opportunity to build up valuable experience. With WTW behind you, you’ll learn and develop the skills to succeed in your chosen role. 

Where you means all of us

We’re proud of our culture and committed to making a real impact for our clients and colleagues. That’s why we constantly challenge ourselves to grow our inclusive culture and create a place where we’re bolder together. Our inclusion networks help us to live our values and our defined inclusion and diversity commitments improve and measure our progress. For you, this means joining a company where you can bring your whole self to work.

Your future in sharp focus

We leverage the global view and local expertise of our 48,000 colleagues serving 140 countries and markets to transform tomorrows. At WTW, you’ll tackle challenges with the help of a diverse, expert global team and identify strategic solutions that move us – and the world’s most powerful organizations – forward.

Our Business

In Insurance Consulting we advise and provide solutions to insurance companies on the quantification and management of risk, and on wider operational capabilities, to provide competitive advantage in a rapidly changing world. Our client base includes more than three-quarters of the world's leading insurers across both life and property/casualty insurance.

Qualifications

The Employee Experience is the sum of every single moment that matters between employees and their employer. 

Consider the world we live in today and some of the events that have shaped the past 10 years of your life. How do your family or friends talk about changes in their personal or working lives over that period? 

In the UK, we have seen substantial change to things like:

• how, when and where it is possible to work effectively – through AI and remote working.
• the impacts to home finances caused by the cost of living crisis.
• how we understand our own and others’ wellbeing.
• the demand for new skills as work changes.
• positive strides forward on diversity equity and inclusion. 

Think about thousands of people working at a company experiencing changes related to those challenges – all in different ways, which impact how focused, engaged and productive they are at work. It is in organisation’s interest to ensure they respond to all of those ‘moments that matter’.

Within WTW’s Employee Experience Business, we help our clients to respond to every one of those moments. One day, we might be helping people to understand the support available to them to resolve an important health issue…another, encouraging a young person to save early for retirement and prevent them living in poverty in old age…and another, demonstrating to diverse underrepresented groups in the workplace that they belong in a company and can thrive in their career there. 

As an Employee Experience Apprentice, you will work as part of a team on a wide variety of complex projects, serving as a key resource for the leading consultant on each of your engagements. You will be encouraged to develop an understanding of our client solutions as possible by supporting across multiple, complex projects. 

You will have immediate exposure to real client assignments, which will draw on your imagination and creativity as well as your ability to analyse data, draw conclusions and present results. These experiences will help build your technical knowledge and overall industry experience while you benefit from more structured formal training.

As you grow and gain more expertise, you will gradually begin to take responsibility for deliverables as you work alongside some of the industry’s top consultants on cross-industry client projects including many household names.

Typical work for an apprentice within this team might include:

• Helping our clients communicate their rewards package to their employees through engagement campaigns, including writing the content, developing ideas for the brand, and proofreading the final text. 
• Developing pension communication materials which encourage people to save for a fulfilling retirement – and create awareness around a complicated topic.
• Work with consultants to plan key change management activities and milestones for major projects, including organisational restructuring and HR transformation. 
• Work with consultants to prepare organisations for more transparency on pay.
• Support clients with employee experience and workplace wellbeing projects, including both financial, mental, and physical wellbeing. 

The apprenticeship will be guided by our government training provider and be due for completion within 20-24 months. You will be fully supported throughout your apprenticeship programme by WTW colleagues including an apprentice buddy.

WTW is an equal opportunity employer

WTW believes that effectively managing a diverse workforce is vital to our business strategy. We have an obligation to our organisation, ourselves and our clients to hire and develop the best people we can find. We will continually review our policies and practices to ensure that all areas of the employment process (including recruiting, hiring, work assignments, compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, company-sponsored development programs and overall workplace experience) are free from discriminatory practices. We are committed to equal employment opportunities at WTW.

Why work at WTW?

WTW offers a variety of benefits to support your physical, emotional and financial wellbeing, as well as help you develop in your career, and balance your life inside and outside of work. Among other things, these include WTW Work Flex, shared parental leave, a range of Learning & Development (L&D) opportunities and a competitive pay and benefits package (which includes Private Medical Insurance and Life Insurance).
