A proactive approach, strong work ethic and a good sense of humour are equally as important as job ability.

Based within a separate office building on site at one of the homes, you'll enjoy working in a modern, welcoming office surrounded by beautiful gardens, a pond and peaceful countryside, whilst working a 4-day week allowing a perfect work life balance!

Key Responsibilities will include:

• Oversee the day-to-day finance function, ensuring accurate financial records and reporting
• Produce payroll, invoices, supplier payments and monthly management accounts
• Monitor budgets, cash flow and outstanding payments
• Liaise with residents, families, suppliers and external stakeholders regarding financial matters
• Support month-end and year-end processes, including working with external accountants and auditors
• Provide financial support and guidance to managers across the business
• Ensure compliance with financial procedures and maintain accurate documentation
• Provide occasional administrative support to the Directors when required

Candidate Attributes:

• Previous experience in a varied finance or accounts role
• Confidence using Sage 50 Accounts
• Excellent organisational skills with strong attention to detail
• The ability to prioritise a busy and varied workload
• A proactive, hands-on approach and a willingness to support colleagues
• A positive attitude and good sense of humour
