Full job description

Are you searching for a new opportunity? We have an opening for a Credit Underwriter!

You’ll probably know Hastings Direct as a digital insurance provider, but did you know we also have a growing unsecured lending business? We have a competitive product on market-leading systems offering customers guaranteed eligibility and real rates through price comparison websites (PCWs).

We have over four million customers but know there’s an even bigger opportunity out there and have ambitious plans to become The Best and Biggest in the UK market. We’ve made huge investments in our data and tech capabilities over the past few years, along with nurturing our 4Cs culture.

Working Hours/ Shift Patterns: You will work 37.5 hours per week on a Monday to Friday 9:00 – 17:30 No weekends or bank holidays

Training: The main training period runs for the first 4-6 weeks and takes place face to face in the office.

Our approach to Hybrid Working: With hybrid working, you have more flexibility, as you usually only have to visit our office once or twice a week and work remotely for the rest of the time. You can always opt to work from the office more frequently if that suits you better. When we organise training and events you may be required to attend in person for the duration.

Salary: The starting salary is £26,850 plus benefits. There will be opportunities for further salary progression with the right focus on personal development.

Location: Our fantastic Bexhill office, which is next to the seafront, and only a short walk from Collington station.

As a Disability Confident employer, we’re committed to ensuring our recruitment processes are fully inclusive – what this means to you is if you’re applying for a job with us, you’ll have fair access to support and adjustments throughout your recruitment journey. For this position, we’re regrettably unable to accept applications through the Disability Confident Scheme (DCS) due to the extremely high volumes of applications we receive. However, what we put in place for these positions instead in order to remove barriers is an opportunity for all candidates to complete first stage assessments, in the form of some online exercises, which we can also provide adjustments for on a case-by-case basis.

For more information on the DCS, please visit our inclusive business page on our careers site.

If you require any reasonable adjustments to be made throughout the assessment process you should contact the recruitment team at [email protected] prior to starting any assessments, in order that adjustments can be considered.

We welcome applications from all suitably skilled persons regardless of their gender, age, race, disability, ethnic background, religion/belief, sexual orientation, gender reassignment or marital/family status.
