Part Time Accounts Assistant

Part Time Accounts Assistant

Our thriving, growing client in a beautiful rural office near Ledbury/Staunton is looking for an experienced Part Time Accounts Assistant to join their extremely down to earth, friendly and hardworking team.

We are looking for a team player who is willing to muck in with the team where needed.  While your core responsibility will be managing the day-to-day finance function, this is a business with a flat hierarchy where everyone pitches in- even the Managing Director isn't above emptying the dishwasher. 

This is a company that genuinely values its people.  In return for your hard work, you'll enjoy a supportive environment (with two office dogs), Friday breakfasts paid for by the boss, occasional team socials, an annual profit share scheme, casual dress.

The ideal candidate will have previous accounts or finance experience, confidence in chasing outstanding payments, excellent attention to detail, and a proactive, can-do approach
