Job description

Overview

Gillespie Recruitment is proud to be partnering with a progressive and well-established mortgage brokerage based in Gateshead, currently seeking an experienced and motivated Mortgage & Protection Broker.

This is not just another job it’s a career-defining opportunity for a qualified adviser looking to develop in a dynamic, high-performing team.

About the Role

This is a fully employed, office-based position, offering you:

• A steady flow of pre-qualified warm leads
• Full administrative and compliance support
• The chance to deliver whole-of-market mortgage and protection advice
• Opportunities to expand into wills, trusts, commercial finance, and utility brokering

You’ll work closely with clients from first enquiry to final completion, delivering compliant, tailored advice while helping people make life-changing decisions with confidence.

What We’re Looking For

We’re searching for a self-driven and professional Mortgage Broker who is committed to providing outstanding client service and achieving consistent results.

Requirements:

• CeMAP (or equivalent) qualification – essential
• Proven experience giving both mortgage and protection advice
• Strong commercial awareness and attention to compliance
• Excellent communication and organisational skills
• A proactive mindset and high level of personal accountability

What You’ll Get in Return

• A competitive basic salary
• Uncapped commission structure
• Consistent flow of quality warm leads
• Full back-office and compliance support
• Access to a broad panel of lenders and insurers
• Involvement in wills & estate planning, commercial finance, and more
• Incentives such as company holidays abroad (on target achievement)
• A supportive team culture with clear progression opportunities

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn’t just about sales. It’s about delivering meaningful advice, building long-term client relationships, and growing your professional reputation within a respected firm.

If you're a Mortgage & Protection Adviser who wants to be part of a forward-thinking business that recognises and rewards ambition, we want to hear from you.
