Job description

I am currently supporting a fantastic healthcare business based just south of Birmingham City Centre who are looking to bring an Accounts Assistant into their lovely finance team!

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, loves a query, and isn't afraid to get stuck in. The role sits as part of the wider finance team but has a particular focus on supporting both Payroll Administration and Purchase Ledger (Accounts Payable) - offering a really nice balance of tasks day-to-day.

The business has sites across the UK, so you'll be speaking to teams nationwide - perfect for someone who enjoys building relationships and being that helpful point of contact. They've got a strong "team-first" culture where everyone supports each other, so they are looking for someone with a real can-do attitude who is happy to roll up their sleeves and help out wherever needed.

The role is being offered on a temporary to permanent basis, but the temp side is purely to get someone started quickly - with a plan to convert this into a permanent role after 3-6 months. It's essentially a probationary period where both sides can ensure it's the right fit long-term.

The Role Will Involve:

• Processing supplier invoices and payments as part of the Purchase Ledger function.
• Handling supplier queries and resolving any discrepancies.
• Liaising directly with suppliers to arrange payment dates and resolve outstanding issues.
• Completing supplier statement reconciliations.
• Processing payment runs and sending remittance advices.
• Posting all financial transactions accurately into the finance system.
• Assisting with monthly bank reconciliations.
• Collating timesheets and verifying hours worked against agreed pay rates.
• Reconciling timesheet data and preparing accurate data for submission to the external payroll provider.
• Acting as the first point of contact for payroll queries internally.
• Maintaining up-to-date payroll and finance records.

The Ideal Candidate Will Have:

• Previous experience in an Accounts Assistant or Finance Admin role, with exposure to both Accounts Payable and Payroll Admin tasks.
• Experience supporting payroll by processing timesheets, collating hours worked, checking pay rates, and preparing data for outsourced payroll processing (you are not required to process payroll fully).
• Strong Accounts Payable experience, including invoice processing as a core part of previous roles.
• Exposure to processing payment runs would be highly beneficial.
• Excellent Excel skills - confident working with spreadsheets, formulas, data checks, and reconciliations.
• Highly computer literate and confident learning and navigating new systems.
• Strong communication skills and confidence liaising with teams across multiple UK sites.
• A proactive, can-do attitude and a natural team player who enjoys supporting others and solving queries.

In Return:

• Hybrid working available (nice blend of home and office work!)
• Immediate start available.
• Opportunity for the role to become permanent after the initial temp period.
• Supportive, friendly team environment where everyone helps each other.

Summary:
A great opportunity for someone looking for a varied Accounts Assistant role with strong involvement in both Payroll Admin and Purchase Ledger, all within a supportive and growing healthcare business. Ideal for someone who is confident on Excel, thrives on problem-solving, and enjoys a collaborative, team-focused environment!
