What the job involves
If tidy spreadsheets make your heart sing and reconciling accounts feels like winning a small (but meaningful) life victory, we’ve got the perfect role for you.
As our Accounts Officer, you’ll be a crucial part of our Finance team, diving into:
- Accounts payable & receivable
- Daily bank statement processing

- Works at pace without trading away quality
- Provides warm, helpful service to both colleagues and customers
- Loves being part of a team that collaborates and supports each other
- Has knowledge of accounting processes

What we can offer you
This fixed‑term role is packed with plenty of good stuff:
- A supportive, down‑to‑earth Finance team that actually enjoys working together.
- A busy, hands‑on role where you’ll sharpen your accounting skills and build confidence fast.
