After the change in ownership in 2020, the Bank is growing rapidly. It is fast becoming the go-to Bank for the evangelical church in the UK who want to ensure their money is used for Kingdom purposes. Because of this growth we’d like to hire a Senior Risk Officer to join our Risk & Compliance Team. Most of the Bank’s team members are committed Christians, and the successful applicant for this role will at least be sympathetic to the Christian faith, even if not a committed Christian themselves.
The Bank is a close-knit team of around 50 people. This size gives each of us the opportunity to be involved in a broader range of activities than might be the case at a larger financial organisation. Our culture is to be hard-working and professional, yet informal and caring. Team members take responsibility for balancing flexibility in their individual working patterns whilst supporting each other and delivering great customer service. We are committed to training and development, and to progression wherever possible.
