You need to be this kind of person…

• Prepared to stick at something – we get nervous if someone has jumped from job to job as we want people who are prepared to learn and grow
• Care about doing a great job and exceeding expectations with the quality of what you do

And... we are a bank so risk is a part of everything we do. We love people who take responsibility, do the right thing for customers, colleagues and Metro Bank and have the courage to call out any concerns.

We always support colleagues to develop their skills. But to be successful in this job you really do need to already be able to do most of these wonderful things...

• In order to exceed in this role you will have lots of leadership experience, with the ability to nurture and develop a number of Mortgage Operations Specialists
• You will have previous experience working within a mortgage operations environment and on boarding customers 
• Naturally, you will be able to drive change within a team - embracing new working practices and challenging old methods to find better ways of working
• It is key that you have a thorough knowledge of all aspects of mortgage lending and can communicate and share this expertise with the team
 • If you have a CeMAP qualification, that would be FANtastic, however this is not requirement 

Important Footnote 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!
