At Retirement Villages Group, we're reimagining what later living looks like. We create vibrant communities where people can live independently, stay connected and enjoy life on their own terms.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for an Accounts Payable Assistant to join our Finance team based in our London Victoria office. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with Accounts Payable experience who enjoys working in a collaborative environment, takes pride in accuracy and wants to be part of a business making a real difference.
About the Role
You'll play a key role in the day-to-day operation of the Accounts Payable function, ensuring supplier invoices, expenses and payments are processed accurately and on time across multiple companies within the Group.
