Overview

Aon shapes decisions for the better to protect and enrich the lives of people around the world. When you join us, you’ll become empowered to make the same impact, as you explore ways of becoming a more relevant, connected and valued professional.

Hundreds of UK employers, from FTSE 100 companies to smaller firms, turn to our Retirement and Investment Business for advice in many areas of running a pension scheme. Your role will support senior team members in their client management activities, ensuring employer pension schemes are run efficiently and professionally. As a Client Management Apprentice, you will make an immediate impact by demonstrating a real passion for customer service and develop the skills needed to become a valued advisor to our clients.

What Your Day Could Look Like

• Supporting the delivery of client plans and project management
• Assisting in day‑to‑day retirement services, including drafting reports and newsletters for trustees
• Attending and planning face‑to‑face client meetings or conference calls, taking minutes and managing follow‑up actions
• Playing an active part in delivering client satisfaction, retention and profitability
• Carrying out administrative tasks contributing to the retirement and investment consulting process
• Inputting data accurately to maintain management information

Your Development

As an Aon Apprentice you will be enrolled onto our Development Programme, built around three core elements:

• Business learning – on‑the‑job learning and experiences giving you the opportunity to develop your knowledge and understanding of the team and solution line you join
• Centralised learning – UK apprentices complete an Aon induction, monthly webinars, business skills training and workshops; all designed to help you develop knowledge of Aon, build confidence and network across our business
• Professional qualifications – we will fully support you through the Level 4 Junior Management Consultant programme and, subject to criteria, the Level 6 Retirement Provision Pathway qualification with the Pensions Management Institute (PMI), including paid study leave and access to extensive study materials

Building Relationships

With Aon Business Leaders playing an active role in our development, you are encouraged to make the most of every networking opportunity. The early relationships you build will include:

• Your apprentice network – meet apprentices from all Aon areas of the UK, helping you navigate the business and grow a support network from day one
• Your mentor – an experienced colleague who can help you with career guidance and general queries
• Business seniors – many experienced colleagues will be actively interested and involved in your development
• The Early Careers Team – here to help smooth the way, open doors and advise you on developing your knowledge, skills and prospects

Your Career Beyond Your Apprenticeship

Once you complete the formal apprenticeship, you will continue to receive support at Aon. We expect you to be promotion‑ready within 24 months and will continue to grow your career at Aon. You will also be able to continue your studies within the Junior Management Consultant career path and explore different career paths. After your 18‑month apprenticeship, your training and development continues as you take on more client responsibilities.
