Who this role is really for

This is for someone who shares our core values and vision.

The type of person we are looking for

• Someone who cares about standards, presentation, and how they show up.
• Someone who is excited by the idea of building something new instead of maintaining something old.

Candidate qualifications

• You have at least two years’ experience writing mortgages and protection cases.
• You take genuine pride in producing high-quality work.
• You communicate clearly and professionally, representing the brand with confidence and integrity.
• You are highly organised, proactive, and naturally stay one step ahead.
• You do what you say you will do — including following up when promised.
• You notice and care about the details others might overlook.
• You thrive in a fast-moving, high-performance team that holds itself to high standards.
• You have a “roll-up-your-sleeves” mindset and take ownership rather than passing things on.
• You don’t wait for instruction — you spot opportunities and act on them.
• You enjoy working alongside people who continuously raise the bar.

What should excite you about this opportunity

• The chance to build a mortgage and protection brand with the backing, marketing power, and client flow of Harris + Wood.
• You will never worry about leads again.
• The opportunity to harness the systems, technology and support of MAB (Mortgage Advice Bureau), the largest mortgage network in the UK.
• The chance to work alongside a high performing estate agency where trust and client care already exist.
• The chance to help design the process, the experience, and the standard from the ground up.
• The chance to be known as the person who helped build Mortgages Plus from the beginning.
• This is not a job you do and leave at the door. This is something you help create.

The ideal candidate

• Someone who enjoys collaboration and being part of a team, not just working in isolation.
• Someone who takes pride in going above and beyond, not just meeting the minimum requirements.
• Someone who genuinely values outstanding customer service and strives to deliver excellent experiences.
• Someone who is open-minded, curious, and willing to challenge their own thinking to continuously improve how we work.

What you get in return

• A guaranteed, consistent lead source from Harris + Wood’s active buyer and seller client base.
• Ongoing training, development, and support to help you continually improve your knowledge, advice standards, and client experience.
• A seat at the table at the start of something exciting.
• A brand that invests heavily in its people, marketing, reputation, and client experience.
• A team around you that is driven, supportive and ambitious.
• A chance to grow as Mortgages Plus grows.
• The opportunity in a few years to say: “I helped build that.”

What Mortgages Plus will feel like

Professional. Energetic. Modern. Personal. Clients will feel genuinely looked after and supported by people who care, powered by smart technology and exceptional service. It will feel exactly like Harris + Wood does, just taken to a new level for mortgages and protection.
