This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated and driven Loan Underwriter to join a well-established community organisation.
Our client is a not-for-profit financial institution, whose goal is to give back to the local community by providing ethical finance to those in need. Established for almost 30 years, they serve people who live in the area between Birmingham & the Welsh border.

They’re looking for an Assistant Loans Administrator / Underwriter who ideally has experience underwriting loans but failing that who at least has wider underwriting experience. This role will involve all aspects of manually underwriting loans and will also involve the administration of all things surrounding loans, and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to make their own impact and be a key player of the small team at this ethical organisation.

The ideal candidate would be somebody who has loan underwriting experience and who is looking for part-time hours – possibly to accommodate childcare responsibilities. If this sounds like you and you’re ready for your next career move, read on to find out more…
