Purchase Ledger Clerk

This is one of those jobs that keeps everything else moving. It's not "glamorous", but it is important.

You'll be the person making sure the lights quite literally stay on, the Wi-Fi doesn't cut out, and the council doesn't send angry letters because a payment didn't go through.

It's a role with structure but plenty of variety. You'll be managing accounts across multiple entities. That means invoices, payments, chasing things that have gone mysteriously quiet, and generally being the person who notices problems before they turn into fires.

You'll be reporting to the Financial Controller, but you won't be micromanaged. If you're the sort of person who likes to own their work and take responsibility, you'll fit in well here.

Here's what you'll be doing:

• Making sure statements are sorted and up to date
• Setting up standing orders and payment plans
• Chasing missing invoices
• Talking to staff and providers to get the info you need
• Liaising with external debt agencies to avoid any awkward service cut-offs
• Helping with bank postings and downloading statements when needed

What they need from you:

• At least a year of experience working in accounts payable
• To know the difference between a statement and an invoice
• An eye for detail, and the patience to deal with suppliers, clients, and the occasional spreadsheet drama
• Someone who can stay organised even when things get busy
• A bit of common sense, a decent attitude, and no fear of picking up the phone

And in return?

• Up to £28,000 depending on experience
• 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays)
• The opportunity for study support
