"Lead complex lending decisions at pace — where judgement, expertise and impact truly matter"

At Castle Trust Bank, we’re proud to be a fintech challenger bank, delivering specialist property mortgages, retail finance lending and savings products to customers across the UK.

As we continue to grow and evolve our specialist lending proposition, we’re looking for an experienced Head of Underwriting (Bridging & Specialist BTL) to lead a high‑performing underwriting function operating at the sharp end of complex, non‑standard lending. Based in Basingstoke, you’ll lead a specialist underwriting team responsible for complex bridging and specialist buy‑to‑let lending, including limited company structures, HMOs, MUFBs and expat cases.

This is a senior, hands‑on leadership role where speed, sound judgement and deep technical expertise are critical. You’ll balance strategic oversight with direct involvement in high‑value cases, shaping outcomes that protect portfolio quality while enabling commercial growth. This is a high‑visibility role with significant delegated authority and direct involvement in credit governance, where your decisions will have a tangible impact on customer outcomes, broker relationships and portfolio performance.

This is a hybrid role based in Basingstoke, with 3 days per week in the office. Monday and Wednesday are compulsory office days.

Lead the end‑to‑end underwriting lifecycle for complex, time‑critical transactions
Ensure every bridging loan has a robust, credible and verified exit strategy
Assess non‑standard BTL cases including Ltd Co, HMO, MUFB and Expat structures
Lead, develop and mentor a team of underwriters, embedding commercial but prudent decision‑making
Own underwriting performance against SLAs, speed‑to‑offer and quality metrics
Act as a key member of the Credit Committee, presenting complex cases and influencing credit and risk policy
Build strong relationships with brokers, solicitors and valuation partners
Champion strong governance, regulatory compliance and excellent customer outcomes under SMCR

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for a confident, credible underwriting manager/leader who thrives in a fast‑paced specialist lending environment:

Essential experience & skills

Proven experience in manual underwriting within Bridging and Specialist BTL lending
Deep expertise in non‑standard lending, including complex property and income structures
Proven experience operating with delegated lending authority
Strong understanding of FCA regulation across regulated and non‑regulated lending
Experience presenting cases to Credit Committees and influencing risk policy
Demonstrable ability to lead, develop and motivate a specialist underwriting team
Excellent stakeholder management skills across intermediary and professional panels

Qualifications

CeMAP (or equivalent) desirable

28 days’ holiday + option to buy/sell 5 days
Additional paid volunteering day
Private healthcare (BUPA single cover)
