running smoothly day to day.

You’ll be responsible for the full
purchase and sales ledger, with a varied workload that will keep you
busy and engaged. You’ll report directly into the General Manager,
giving you visibility of the wider business and how the finance function
supports day -to -day operations. As the business continues to grow and
get busier, this role will naturally evolve. More volume, more
responsibility, and genuine scope for the role to grow alongside the
company.

There’s also flexibility here, the role could be worked
over 30 hours across 5 days if you’re looking for slightly reduced hours
but still want a busy, varied role.

What’s on offer?
