• Helping to maintain accurate financial records and systems.
• Supporting audits and ensuring compliance with financial procedures.

Your working hours

This position is for 24 hours per week. Ideally, we would like these hours to be spread across the working week, but we can discuss exact working arrangements. We'd also foresee this role being largely office based, with the possibility of some working from home, but again that is open for discussion.

What we're looking for

The ideal candidate:

• Has previous experience in a finance, accounts or bookkeeping role (ideally equivalent to at least three years).
• Has experience of managing payroll for at least 100 employees

• Is organised, proactive and able to manage their workload effectively in a fast-paced environment.
• Is a confident communicator who enjoys building positive working relationships.
• Can work independently while also being a supportive team member.

There are many great reasons to join our team!

You'll be able to make an immediate mark on a growing family-run company, with ambitious plans for the future that always puts the people we support at the heart of our decisions.

You'll also receive:

• A salary of £35,000-£40,000 pro rata, depending on experience.
• 20 days of holiday, plus bank holidays, pro rata.
• Free and confidential wellbeing services, including online and telephone support.
