Work experience requirement to applying for CA2

In the handbook, it is written,

In order to apply for CA2 you need to have either passed or been granted an exemption by the Profession from all CT subjects, have at least one year’s work experience with an actuarial employer and have approval from your employer.

I have 3 years of past work experience in the Tech-related roles in a financial software company, but I am not working currently. I resigned from work and am studying full time for Actuaries, and so, don't have a *current* employer.

I'd like to know if my past experience would allow me to sit for CA2. If not, what companies are considered actuarial emplyers? I have started to look for an employment (I've cleared 6 CT exams so far) and am wondering if there is a hard definition of such a company.

Also, does the point about approval from my employer mean I'll need explicit written permission from my senior at work in order to sit for the exam?

Thank you for any clarifications on this matter.
 
Thank you for the pointers Sarah. I shall contact them directly.
