What you will need:

• Previous experience in a similar role, such as "Purchase Ledger Clerk / Accounts Payable Clerk / Accounts Assistant / Finance Assistant / Purchase Ledger Administrator / Accounts Payable Assistant"
• Confidence managing high volumes of invoices accurately
• A proactive, self‑motivated approach – you’ll be trusted to work independently
• A team‑focused mindset, happy to step in and support colleagues when needed

• Hybrid working – 4 days per week from home, 1 day in the office
