Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
As a UK Reinsurance Client Management Assistant at Aon, I supported the team that manages relationships between our reinsurance clients and the markets (syndicates and insurers).
Day to day, I help prepare and update placement documentation such as slips, EOCs and endorsements, making sure the details are accurate and match the market sheets. I use internal systems to upload documents, keep records up to date, and send information out to reinsurers.
I also support the renewal process by helping with slip formatting, tracking subjectivities, and making sure markets are kept informed during the placing process. Alongside this, I assist with ad‑hoc tasks such as checking figures, updating risk codes, and keeping files organized so account handlers and clients have clear, accurate information.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoyed my programme. It’s gave me a solid grounding in reinsurance while letting me apply what I learn directly in my role. I liked the mix of technical learning, on‑the‑job experience, and support from both Aon and the training provider, and I feel it’s helped me grow in confidence and responsibility.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Aon to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Yes, I would recommend Aon to a friend. It’s a supportive place to start a career, especially in insurance and reinsurance. You get good exposure to real work, clear responsibilities early on, and lots of chances to learn from experienced colleagues. The apprenticeship structure also means you’re building both technical knowledge and practical skills at the same time.

* Use examples from school, part‑time work or hobbies to show teamwork, attention to detail, and communication skills.
