  • Some bridging loans are development loans and property development experience is a distinct advantage
  • Willingness to be flexible and pitch in as and when required
  • Strong IT skills, including major Microsoft packages and data rooms
  • Very good academics

The package:

  • Highly competitive, indeed very generous, basic salary, with additional billing related bonus scheme

  • 28 days' holiday
  • Private healthcare (after 6 months)
  • Laptop and mobile provided, along with home set up equipment if required
  • Hybrid working available - 3 days in the office, 2 at home

We have worked with one of the recruiting partners for c20 years and can confidently say he is one of the most generous, supportive and flexible employers we have dealt with.

He and his colleagues really push the boat out to make people feel welcome and supported.

They work very hard and are extremely dynamic. The quality of work is also very high; City standard but within a friendly, smaller team environment.

This really is a very rare opportunity.

We ask that applications/enquiries are made by email via in the first instance. Discretion is absolutely assured and your CV won't go anywhere without your express permission.
