• Assisting with annual audits
• General finance and administrative support as required

What We’re Looking For :

We’re seeking a great team fit — someone approachable, organised, and confident communicating with suppliers and colleagues at all levels.

You’ll ideally have :

• Proven experience in a Purchase Ledger / Finance Assistant role
• Confidence using Excel (intermediate level)
• Experience with Sage Intacct or a similar accounting system
• Exposure to an in‑house management information system
• A proactive, can‑do attitude and strong organisational skills
• Basic knowledge of double‑entry bookkeeping (AAT desirable)

• 33,000 FTE (pro rata for part-time hours)
• 25 days holiday pro rata
• Pension scheme
• Free fruit
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Free on‑site parking
• Birthday day off (after 1 year’s service)
• Hybrid working available after 6‑month probation (with flexibility for strong performers)
