This is an excellent opportunity for someone with 1-2 years' finance experience who is looking for a varied role, greater responsibility and the flexibility to achieve a strong work-life balance.

Our client genuinely puts people and culture at the heart of their business, offering a supportive working environment, flexible hours and hybrid working.

This is a role where you'll be trusted to manage your own workload, make decisions and work autonomously, while still having the support of a collaborative finance team around you.

The Role

This is a varied Finance Assistant position, giving you exposure to a broad range of finance activities. Your responsibilities will include:

It's a role that offers plenty of variety, so we're looking for someone who enjoys getting involved, isn't afraid to take ownership and is happy to adapt as priorities change.

What We're Looking For

You’ll ideally have 1-2 years' experience within a finance or accounts environment, together with a positive and proactive approach.

We're particularly interested in hearing from candidates who are

  • Self-motivated and able to work autonomously
  • Adaptable and comfortable working in a changing environment
  • Positive, driven and focused
  • Highly organised with good attention to detail
  • A confident communicator and team player
  • Practical, proactive and solutions-focused
  • Someone with a genuine can-do attitude
  • Keen to learn, develop and take ownership of their work

You don't need to tick every single box. If you have a solid grounding in finance, the right attitude and are looking for your next opportunity, we'd be keen to speak with you.

What's on Offer?

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an organisation that genuinely values its employees, offering:

  • 37.5 hours per week
  • Flexible working hours
