About The Role
As a Residential Underwriter at LendInvest, you'll play a key role in assessing and approving mortgage loan applications from enquiry to completion.

* Assess borrower risk, including income verification, valuations, and legal aspects.
* Engage with brokers and borrowers, providing clear and prompt decisions.
* Work closely with solicitors, valuers, and case managers to ensure smooth transactions.
* Make confident lending decisions, backed by clear rationale and aligned with our policies.
* Support and mentor case managers, helping develop their skills and knowledge.
* Contribute to efficiency improvements that maintain strong risk management while streamlining processes.
What We’re Looking For
* A confident and resilient underwriter who can build strong relationships with stakeholders.
* Sound judgement and attention to detail, with the ability to spot risks early.
* Experience handling high-volume workflows, with strong prioritisation skills.
* A deep understanding of Treating Customers Fairly (TCF), Conduct Risk, and Consumer Duty.
* Strong technical knowledge of credit referencing, anti-fraud systems, and land registry documents.
* Substantial residential underwriting experience, ideally within specialist lending.
* CeMAP qualification (preferred but not essential).
