Job description

Feel like you're doing all the chasing - with no support behind you?

If you're experienced in credit control and tired of being treated like a debt collector instead of a valued finance professional, this could be the change you've been waiting for.

We're hiring a Sales Ledger Clerk to take the lead on accounts receivable across four UK entities. You'll own the debt recovery process, work closely with internal teams and customers, and be key to maintaining strong, consistent cash flow for the business.

You'll be based in Hambleton, with hybrid working offered once you're comfortable in the role.

What's in it for you?

• 25,000 - 26,500 salary, depending on experience

• Hybrid working (once you're settled in)

• Real ownership of your accounts - not just following scripts

• Friendly, supportive finance team - you're not doing this alone

• 23 days holiday + bank holidays

• Company pension and employee benefits

• Training and development opportunities if you want to grow your finance career

This is a full-time, permanent role where your impact is visible - and appreciated.

What you'll be doing (and why it matters)

• Managing the sales ledger across four UK entities - accurately, and with full visibility

• Sending out invoices, credit notes, and monthly statements to customers

• Proactively chasing overdue payments via phone and email

• Resolving disputes in a calm, professional way

• Preparing aged debt reports and flagging problem accounts before they become serious

• Working with internal teams to improve billing and collections processes

• Contributing to month-end and audit prep with your clean ledger and notes

You won't be micromanaged - instead, you'll be trusted to run your own ledger and get the job done in your way.

What you'll need (and what you'll get in return)

• Experience in credit control, sales ledger, or accounts receivable - so you can hit the ground running and feel confident in the role

• Great communication and negotiation skills - helping you build trust and get paid faster

• ERP and Excel know-how - to keep things efficient and accurate

• Organised and self-sufficient - because you'll have space to work your way

• Motivated by results - your impact will be seen and appreciated

The role is based in Hambleton, with hybrid working after onboarding. Travel to other sites is not required.
