About the role

Trinity House Group are recruiting for an experienced Purchase Ledger Clerk or Accounts Payable Assistant, to join a well established organisation based in Birmingham, on a temporary basis. The organisation is part way through a company wide systems transformation, and this purchase ledger role has been created to provide dedicated accounts payable support while the finance team works through the additional volume this has created. It is a hands‑on, transactional finance role with genuine variety and the chance to make a real impact, working closely with colleagues across finance and operations rather than sitting behind a desk processing invoices in isolation.

Key responsibilities

• Resolve purchase ledger and accounts payable invoice queries, primarily linked to two key contractors within the organisation's repairs and assets function.
• Investigate and correct issues preventing supplier invoices from matching or being paid, working closely with the assets and repairs team.
• Interpret and process transactions across different document types, including invoices and payments, within the in-house finance system.
• Build strong working relationships with contractors and internal stakeholders to keep queries moving.
• Provide additional purchase ledger and accounts payable support during an ongoing system transition, working alongside an experienced Finance Officer.

What we are looking for

• Solid purchase ledger, accounts payable or supplier ledger experience within a transactional finance role.
• Confidence working within a finance or ERP system. Experience of any procure to pay (P2 P) system is transferable, sector background in housing, manufacturing or similar is useful but not essential.
• Strong problem solving skills and the tenacity to investigate and resolve queries independently.
• Comfortable liaising with non finance colleagues and external contractors.
• Able to work office based Monday to Thursday in Castle Vale, Birmingham, with home working available on Fridays.

Why apply

• A genuine opportunity for this temporary purchase ledger assignment to develop into a longer term or permanent position.
• Real variety and ownership, rather than routine accounts payable processing.
• A supportive, established finance team within the housing sector.
• Free on-site parking in Birmingham, and a full time role with genuine flexibility on hours considered for the right candidate.
