The best bridging deals need more than someone to work through a checklist. They need an underwriter who can understand the story behind the application, assess the risk and help find a sensible route to completion.
DEFC Group is recruiting for a specialist property lender in Milton Keynes with ambitions to grow. As the business moves forward, it’s looking for an underwriter who wants to grow with it: someone who takes pride in making good decisions, building strong broker relationships and contributing to a supportive team.
You’ll have the backing to develop your judgement and the opportunity to make a real contribution as the business grows.
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.
