We’re looking for an experienced Finance Officer to work closely with our managing director. A Sage guru, used to all the excuses for late payments, hot on detail and with an innate ability to spot errors, at a stage in life where a part-time role in a genuinely rewarding business is more appealing than the typical 9-5 office environment.
Established in 1997 and based in the High Peak area of Derbyshire, we are an outstanding, small, and proudly independent provider of high-quality therapeutic residential care and on-site education for children and young people. We support young people, aged 11–17, to deal with a wide range of often complex adverse childhood experiences that have left them with social, emotional and behavioural challenges to overcome. And now we’re looking for an equally enthusiastic, highly organised and detail-oriented Financial Officer to join our head office team. As Financial Officer, you’ll work closely with our managing director to keep our financial engine running smoothly. You’ll work with our in-house office admin and finance admin leads too, as well as our external accountants, to ensure daily transactions are reconciled, the company’s financial records are updated and maintained flawlessly, and you’ll help our senior management team prepare crucial budgets, forecasts and reports when required.
Process daily financial transactions, including accounts payable, receivable, and client billing.
Maintain precise digital records, keeping ledgers, spreadsheets, reconciled financial statements and receipts, and database systems up to date.
Assist with financial reporting, helping prepare monthly/annual budgets and external audit documentation.
Manage credit control, chasing creditors, negotiating terms and reassuring debtors, acting as the first point of contact for financial queries.
A Minimum of 30 days' holiday, plus additional days for loyalty.
~ Company pension.
~ Loyalty & referral bonuses, ranging from £50 - £500, plus perks and discounts.
~ A comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme, available 24/7/365.
~ Fully funded training.
~ A great work/life balance.
~ Long-term career progression opportunities.
Based in our idyllic Peak District setting, we pride ourselves on developing individually tailored, consistent, warm and respectful relationships not just with the young people in our care but also the amazing staff we employ to support them. And we challenge any behaviour that threatens the safeguarding of our young people and our colleagues.
Job offers and continued employment are conditional upon stringent pre-employment checks, thorough referencing, and maintenance of a satisfactory enhanced DBS clearance.
AAT qualification or equivalent/higher financial qualification.
Minimum five years’ experience working in an accounts or finance department.
Proven administrative experience, excellent numeracy, a methodical approach to compliance and accurate data entry skills.
Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Word as well as Sage accounting software.
Excellent organisational skills, sharp attention to detail, and strong time management skills to meet fixed financial deadlines.
Absolute trustworthiness when handling sensitive financial and company data.
Driving licence.
Experience operating in the residential care sector isn’t strictly necessary although familiarity with Local Authority billing systems and invoicing portals will be an advantage.
