About the Role
We have a fantastic opportunity within our Finance team for a self-motivated, conscientious, and committed individual who is looking for an exciting new challenge and the chance to further develop their career. This part-time temporary position, covering a period of maternity leave, is ideal for someone with a strong do-it-now and can-do attitude who can contribute effectively to providing accounting support across the group accounting teams.
The role is based around approximately 24 hours per week; however, we are flexible and open to considering candidates who would prefer to work slightly more or fewer hours. While the current pattern is Monday–Thursday (08:30–14:30), alternative schedules can be discussed. Monday availability is the only essential requirement to support payroll when needed.
The successful candidate will report to the Group Accountant.
