What you’ll be doing

We are responsible for ensuring that valuations are booked and the reports are returned within our Service Level Agreement.

We liaise between the valuation firms and mortgage brokers for any queries they may have.

About you

• We are interested in people who have a good understanding of the UK property market
• Have excellent written communication skills, used to communicate via email with brokers, internal mortgage teams, and surveyors
• Able to respond at pace to queries, whilst updating records and ensuring these are accurate.

Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

• Feel what customers feel – We step into our customers’ shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind
• Say it straight – We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think – we’re honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand
• Push for better – We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development
• Get it done – We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes

You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.
