About Allica Bank Allica is the UK’s fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (Fintech) firm ever. Our purpose is to help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in Fintech. Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers. Our Healthcare team was formed in 2021, with a team of Specialist Relationship Managers supporting lending and banking needs for Care Home operators, Specialist Care operators and Children’s Day Nurseries. Allica has built a reputation of expertise within the sector and delivering for our introducers and direct customers within the sector. In addition to providing outstanding service, our Specialist Relationship Managers build deep levels of understanding and trust with their care customers, and get to understand their ambitions, goals and motivations. Allica Specialist Relationship Managers support their customers through the provision of appropriate Allica Bank products including Business Current Accounts, Savings Accounts, Commercial Loans, Asset Finance and Working Capital Facilities. As a relatively new Bank, our customer portfolios are built to allow for growth, so new business development is a critical part of the role, and our Specialist Relationship Managers must be confident and capable of winning new business. In addition to approaching potential Healthcare SME customers directly, Specialist Relationship Managers will bring – and continue to build – a strong network of local trusted SME advisors such as accountants (but not commercial finance brokers – these are looked after by our dedicated broker team). We expect our Specialist Relationship Managers to be recognised as sector experts, trusted partners and business financial experts in the healthcare sector. This role is primarily focussed on Growth & Business Development, and the successful candidate will build their portfolio from scratch from new business they win, and manage these relationships once onboarded, supported by an in-team Portfolio Manager.
