  2. We will give you the training to ensure you succeed in your role and plenty of internal opportunities to progress your career (around 40% of our recruitment comes from internal promotions).
  3. We are also all about balance so most of our jobs offer the opportunity for hybrid working built around your role and home life, wherever possible.

*This role will work closely with our commercial lending teams internally and broker networks externally. This colleague can be based anywhere within the areas East Midlands right through to North Yorkshire. Therefore, if this role sounds like a great fit for you, and you live anywhere within these areas or the near surrounds, then please do apply. For us it’s about the right candidate, so please do apply and we can discuss further with you

Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box. We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked. So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl? Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates.. Good luck
