We have an exciting opportunity to join our Administration Team as a Finance Assistant working with our Financial Controller and Finance Officer. Whilst this post is being advertised as full-time, we will accept applications from candidates interested in part-time hours who should state clearly in their letter of application what days/hours they are interested in.
Your key responsibilities will be to process and maintain accurate financial information, monitor and manage the procurement processes and process and record apprenticeship employer payments. Duties will also include assisting in the support of the cashless payment system and the administration of the learner financial assistance process.
As well as having previous experience in a finance or administrative role, you will possess excellent ICT and organisational skills and the ability to work on your own initiative and prioritise deadlines. Enthusiastic and self-motivated, you will be a team player with effective communication skills.
