The team provides the insight and control that underpin our decisions – from managing budgets and cash flow to overseeing player transfers and regulatory reporting.

The Role

We have an exciting opportunity for a Banking and Reconciliation Assistant to join the Finance Team.

Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential, as you will work closely with colleagues and stakeholders across the Club, building positive relationships and responding to queries in a clear, professional and timely manner. You will be confident using finance systems alongside Microsoft Office, particularly Excel. A proactive and self‑motivated approach will be important, along with the ability to work independently while contributing effectively as part of a wider team. You must hold a full UK driving licence with access to a vehicle to travel between our Club sites as and when required. You will also work flexible hours as the Club requires.
