Big things are happening in our Homes Business. As we continue to help more people into homes, we're growing our Credit Management Team to ensure our customers receive the support they need - especially during life's more challenging moments.
We're here to help customers navigate financial difficulties and personal changes with empathy and expertise, to find the right solution for them and the Society. If you have a strong mortgage background, are customer obsessed and have a passion for helping people, we'd love to hear from you.
At Skipton, we're founded on fairness. We exist to do right by our members - and we believe that starts with doing right by our people. So, whoever you are and whatever you bring, there's a place for you here and a genuine plan for where you go next.

Your Key Responsibilities Will Include
- Handling both inbound and outbound calls with a wide range of customers who may be struggling to make payments, and identifying customers with vulnerabilities so we can provide the right support
- Taking individual customers circumstances into account to assess affordability and offer appropriate solutions, including referrals to outside support agencies
- Accurately and promptly processing mortgage arrears administration, including taking payments and managing direct debit arrangements
- Managing the delivery of the litigation and repossession action through the courts, ensuring all actions are appropriate, and liaise with Solicitors when required
- Communicating with empathy when discussing customers’ situations, while securing the right outcome for both the customer and the Society
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

What’s more, it’s help that you can actually use too - not just read about.
