Just Mortgages has announced it is to bring 120 new brokers into the mortgage industry over the next 12 months.
The firm said the brokers would be provided with training through the Just Mortgages broker academy, with a total of 10 academies each accommodating an average of 12 trainee brokers.
Over 1,000 applications have been received for each Just Mortgages’ academy, the broker firm revealed.
The academies are open to those with and without prior experience of financial services, and cover skills that include developing an understanding of the sales process, how to build rapport with clients as well as effective questioning to understand clients’ needs.
Just Mortgages head of training, Rodney Sloan, said: “When we are recruiting for the academies, we don’t just look for experience in financial services, we also look at the skillset of a person and if these skills can translate to being a broker.
“The range of different experiences that those on the academies bring is really varied and everyone who joins brings a different perspective resulting in some great sessions.
“The training doesn’t end once the brokers have graduated. There is an experienced, dedicated trainer whose sole responsibility is to support the new brokers through a structured process as they transition from the academy, to delivering best advice.”
