About us

Berkeley Credit is a growing, FCA-regulated specialist bridging lender and deal originator. We connect borrowers with a panel of private, family-office and institutional capital, and we compete on speed and service. As an early-stage business with a small senior team, the successful candidate will work closely with the founders and gain comprehensive insight into how a specialist lending operation functions, from initial enquiry through to completion.

The opportunity

This is a 12-month placement (placement year) or fixed-term graduate position spanning underwriting, client coverage and operations. It will suit a placement-year or recent-graduate candidate seeking meaningful responsibility and varied, hands-on experience across the business.

• Track each case and its key milestones through to completion, preparing and formatting correspondence, agreements and supporting documentation
• Maintain accurate, well-organised records across internal systems, supporting the record-keeping and compliance standards expected of an FCA-regulated lender

Candidate Profile

• Working towards, or recently completed, a degree in Finance, Economics, Business, Accounting or a related discipline
• Strong Excel and analytical skills, and genuine confidence with numbers and detail
