Home Purchase Plan Adviser (CeMap)

StrideUp is leading a new era of values-driven finance. Ranked the 5th fastest growing fintech in the UK and Ireland in 2025, we have already deployed hundreds of millions in property finance, supporting people in achieving their financial goals.

What makes us different is how we combine purpose with performance. We began with home finance, creating an alternative trusted by the Muslim community and welcomed by anyone seeking fairer, more transparent products. This product-market fit has powered our growth, and is only the beginning. Our vision is bigger; to expand our offering and build a financial institution that opens doors for communities often left behind.

Joining StrideUp means being part of a high-performing, values-driven team at the most exciting point in our journey. We have proven success behind us and huge opportunity ahead, and now we are ready to build beyond. Are you?

StrideUp is backed by leading VC and private equity investors, having raised over £40m in corporate funding, and over £600m in institutional funding lines.

The Role

We are looking for a CeMAP-qualified Home Purchase Plan Adviser with at least two years’ experience to join our team. This is an opportunity to join a pioneering provider in Islamic finance. We welcome experienced mortgage advisers looking to move into the sector as well as those already advising on Home Purchase Plans.

You will be the primary point of contact for clients buying their own home through StrideUp’s Home Purchase Plan, including first-time buyers, home movers and existing customers. You will guide them through affordability, product selection and the end-to-end financing journey, so that every client has a seamless, values-aligned experience from first conversation to completion.

A strong background in Buy-to-Let (BTL) financing is also important. Alongside your core HPP caseload, you will support clients on complex BTL scenarios, including Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), Multi-Unit Blocks (MUBs) and portfolio landlords.

What You'll Do

Advice

• Provide expert, compliant guidance on StrideUp’s Home Purchase Plan (HPP), tailored to individual client needs, including first-time buyers, home movers and product switch/further advance customers

• A self-starter, energised by hitting targets and driven to see every case through to completion
• Accountable for the whole client journey, proactively managing hand-offs between teams to keep cases moving
• Meticulous, seeing regulatory rigour as the foundation of good advice rather than a tick-box exercise
• A collaborative team player who values the expertise of underwriting and sales colleagues

• Relevant qualification to provide mortgage advice in the UK (e.g. CeMAP / Certificate in Mortgage Advice)
• 2+ years’ experience as a Mortgage Adviser or Home Purchase Plan Adviser, with a strong understanding of residential mortgage/home finance products and regulatory requirements
