About the role...

Reporting to the Finance Team Leader, this is a fixed-term role created to provide operational support and cover within the Finance team while three colleagues participate in a major internal systems project.

The successful postholder will provide support across a range of finance activities, covering key responsibilities within the Senior Income Officer, Senior Payments Officer and Finance Business Partner functions.

You will have A-Level qualifications or equivalent experience, together with a sound understanding of income collection, credit control, sales ledger and purchase ledger processes.

Alongside good intermediate IT skills and experience using finance systems, you'll bring a proactive approach to problem-solving, a commitment to continuous improvement and the ability to work independently while contributing positively to the wider team.

Experience of supporting senior finance functions and providing operational cover across multiple areas of finance would be advantageous.

Proven people management and leadership experience.
Strong technical accounting knowledge and financial control expertise.
