Why Washi
A different standard to work to
Microfinance can be done well or done badly, and the difference shows up in how staff are asked to behave when a client falls behind. At Washi, aggressive or humiliating collection is a disciplinary offence, not a technique. Our people are trained to see borrowers as commercial partners, to explain terms until they are genuinely understood, and to size a loan to what a business can actually carry. If that is how you want to work, you will recognise yourself here. We invest in training, we promote from the field, and we hold everyone — at every level — to the same code of conduct.
Where you could fit
Roles across our branch network
Most of our people work in branches, close to the clients they serve. A typical branch team is a Branch Manager, one or two Team Leaders, four to five Loan Officers and support staff.
Loan Officer
The heart of Washi. You work inside a community — surveying it, forming groups, verifying businesses, running weekly meetings and coaching clients through their cycle. It is demanding, relational, outdoor work for people who like being trusted.
Team Leader
Supporting and supervising a set of loan officers, spot-checking quality, and stepping into disbursement briefings. A natural first step up from the field.
Branch Manager
Running a branch end to end: approvals, disbursement, cash discipline, portfolio quality and the conduct of your team. Accountable for both the numbers and the standard of client treatment.
Area & Regional Manager
Overseeing a cluster of branches, surveying and opening new areas, and carrying our operating standards into new parts of Uganda.
Head office & support functions
Operations, finance and accounts, human resources, internal audit, risk and technology — the disciplines that keep a lender safe and a promise credible.
Graduate and entry-level
We recruit and train people new to microfinance. What we cannot train is integrity and the willingness to walk a market in the rain.
What we look for
Character first
