Job description

We're on the lookout for an Accounts Payable Assistant to join our team. If you're someone who loves getting stuck into the details, keeping things organised, and making sure everything runs smoothly, this could be the perfect fit.

You’ll be based at our Support Centre in Wakefield (Junction 41) with free parking and the flexibility to work in a hybrid setup combining remote working with at least 2 days a week in the office.

Please note, this role is a 6 month contract.

In this role, you'll be handling everything from processing invoices and expenses to running weekly payments and resolving supplier queries. You'll be part of a supportive, established team where your time management skills and eye for detail will really shine.

You’ll make sure invoices are authorised properly, keep to a tight month-end schedule, and help resolve any supplier issues quickly. From checking expense claims to preparing payment runs and managing inboxes on a rota, you'll be involved in the full AP process. You'll also work closely with other teams, always delivering great customer service.

You’ll need to be comfortable with numbers, great at spotting the little details, and confident using Excel, Outlook, and Word. If you have previously worked in a similar role that would be ideal. If you’re self-motivated, eager to learn, and enjoy working with people from all over the business, we’d love to hear from you.
