Lending Associate | Career Pathway to Mortgage Broker

Love Home Loans | Sydney CBD | Full-time

Donu2019t just find your next job. Start building your career.

If youu2019re early in your career, interested in property and finance, and looking for an opportunity where someone will genuinely invest in teaching you, weu2019d like to meet you.

Love Home Loans is a boutique mortgage brokerage in the Sydney CBD specialising in complex, portfolio and investor lending for investors, business owners and professionals.

Weu2019re deliberately not a high-volume, transactional brokerage.

We believe great broking is built on understanding people, solving problems, providing outstanding advice and creating long-term client relationships.

And weu2019re looking for someone who wants to learn how to do exactly that.

The opportunity

Weu2019re looking for a Lending Associate to join our team.

This isnu2019t simply an administration role.

Itu2019s an opportunity to learn mortgage broking from the ground up while working alongside experienced brokers and supporting real clients through the lending journey.

Youu2019ll begin by learning the operational foundations of a high-performing mortgage business — how a quality loan file is built, how lenders work, how applications progress, how clients are communicated with and how great service is delivered.

As your knowledge and capability develop, so will the role.

For the right person, our intention is to create a genuine pathway towards becoming a qualified and accredited mortgage broker.

You donu2019t need previous mortgage broking experience.

Weu2019re much more interested in your attitude, potential and willingness to learn.

What youu2019ll learn

- Support clients throughout their lending journey
- Understand a clientu2019s financial position and lending requirements
- Prepare and package high-quality loan applications
- Navigate lender policies, processes and requirements
- Order and understand property valuations
- Complete product comparisons and assist with pricing
- Manage applications from preparation through to settlement
- Communicate professionally with clients, lenders and other stakeholders




- Use industry technology including BrokerEngine and Stride
- Maintain accurate client and compliance records
- Understand the reasoning behind lending recommendations and loan structures
- Build the technical, commercial and relationship skills required to become a successful mortgage broker

Initially, there will be plenty of administration and process work. Thatu2019s intentional.

We want you to understand how the whole business works, not simply learn how to sell a home loan.

Your career pathway

We see this as an apprenticeship into mortgage broking.

Your development could look something like:

Learn the foundations → master lending operations → develop technical lending knowledge → build client skills → complete industry qualifications → work towards accreditation → progress towards becoming a Mortgage Broker.

Weu2019ll support you in completing your Certificate IV in Finance and Mortgage Broking and Diploma, alongside practical, on-the-job development.

There are no shortcuts, and becoming a great broker takes time.

But if you bring the attitude and put in the work, weu2019ll bring the training, mentoring and opportunity.

Who weu2019re looking for

You may be a recent graduate, currently working in customer service, administration, banking, property or another professional environment u2014 or simply someone who knows theyu2019re capable of more and wants to build a career.

Your previous job title isnu2019t particularly important to us.

What matters is how you operate.

Youu2019ll probably recognise yourself in most of these:

- Youu2019re naturally curious and want to understand why, not just what button to press
- You notice details other people miss
- If you say youu2019ll do something, you follow it through
- Youu2019re comfortable picking up the phone and speaking with people




- You communicate warmly and professionally
- You like solving problems and working things out
- You take feedback well and want to improve
- Youu2019re comfortable learning new technology
- You donu2019t need someone constantly reminding you what needs to be done
- You care about doing things properly
- You enjoy being part of a small team where everyoneu2019s contribution matters
- You want a career, not simply your next job

Most importantly, youu2019ll have a genuine interest in building a future in mortgage broking, lending and financial services.

What youu2019ll get from us

Youu2019ll be joining a small, experienced team where youu2019ll have the opportunity to learn directly from people who know the industry.

We offer:

- A genuine pathway towards becoming a mortgage broker
- Hands‑on mentoring from experienced brokers
- Support to complete your Certificate IV and Diploma
- Exposure to sophisticated investor, portfolio and complex lending
- A premium client base of professionals, investors and business owners
- Practical learning rather than sitting on the sidelines
- Increasing responsibility as your capability develops
- A supportive, close-knit team
- A Sydney CBD office environment where youu2019ll be close to the people youu2019re learning from
- The prospect to build a long-term career with a growing business

Salary: $60,000 - $70,000 + superannuation

Location: Sydney CBD

Employment: Full-time
