Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
The Apprentice Mortgage Administrator plays a vital supporting role within our brokerage. At Home of Mortgages, our advisers focus on delivering expert guidance to clients, but they rely heavily on the admin team to keep things running like clockwork behind the scenes. That’s where you come in.
As an apprentice, you'll be joining our Operations and Case Management team. You’ll work closely with experienced administrators and mortgage advisers to help manage the client journey from application to completion. You won’t be making the tea (we take turns in that) – you’ll be gaining direct experience in real cases that help real people move home or secure vital finance.
This role is a gateway into the world of mortgages and property, giving you the tools, knowledge and support to build a long-term career in the financial services sector.
Each day will bring something a little different, but you’ll quickly become a key player in keeping the mortgage process moving. You’ll:
-Help gather and check client documents (ID, payslips, bank statements etc)
-Track application progress using our CRM system
-Communicate with clients by email and phone to provide updates or request missing information
-Liaise with lenders, solicitors and surveyors to chase updates and solve issues
-Keep everything neat, accurate and compliant in our systems
Learn how the mortgage process works from enquiry to completion
You’ll also have time set aside each week for your learning and coursework as part of your apprenticeship qualification.
