  • Making credit decisions within your mandate, starting up to £1m and progressing to £5m

  • Reviewing customer and broker requests, ensuring accurate and timely outcomes

  • Preparing and presenting recommendations on amendments to existing facilities

  • Working within policy and risk frameworks, escalating where appropriate

  • Collaborating with colleagues in credit, risk, and operations, as well as brokers and external partners

What We’re Looking For

  • 2+ years’ experience in mortgage underwriting, ideally with exposure to 2nd charge or specialist lending

  • Proven experience of holding a credit decision mandate

  • Confident in managing multiple cases in a fast-paced environment

  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail

  • Excellent communication skills with a customer-first approach

  • Knowledge of the mortgage process and risk management principles
