Are you looking to progress your career in mortgage underwriting.  Our Mortgage Lending team have opportunities for Mortgage Underwriters and Senior Underwriters to be part of our new Mortgage Hub.

As one of our Mortgage Underwriters you will review personal documentation, valuation reports and other system generated tasks to support mortgage applications within the standard risk mandate. You'll make sound decisions by gathering and analysing relevant information and ensuring all documentation required is received and satisfactory to progress the case to offer.

As one of our Senior Underwriters you will have the responsibility of assessing our high risk applications, making decisions based on case profiles and risk, and using your judgement to build a case to step outside of criteria where appropriate.

All roles will require high levels of customer service and sound judgement making skills.

The key skills we are looking for:

• Previous mortgage underwriting experience within a regulated environment (not essential for a Document Underwriter but a background in mortgages would be helpful)
• Experience of producing work to a high level of accuracy
• Self-motivation with the ability to prioritise own daily and weekly caseload
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to build relationships with internal stakeholders, solicitors, valuers and other third parties
• Evidence of strong analytical skills and experience of using data to support sound decision making in order to provide good customer outcomes
• Experience of underwriting outside of lending criteria (for a Senior Underwriter)
