Summary
Job Advert
To ensure that all Purchase Ledger financial transactions are completed and reconciled to SLA’s.
We're looking to recruit a full-time Transactions Assistant to join our Finance Team. Reporting to the Transactions Purchasing
Manager, this role primary focuses on the Purchase Ledger completing process payments, reconcile accounts, registering and
updating invoices, carrying out BACS runs, and other finance administration duties as specified in the Role Profile. You will
deputize for the Transactions Purchasing Manager where required and deliver a great service by taking ownership of, and
proactively resolving, customer and supplier needs.
This is a fantastic opportunity to play a role in the transformation of the delivery of financial services to our customers within
agreed targets.
Where issues arise, you will be the first point of contact wherever possible. You’ll also share ideas, information, and best
practice with colleagues, so that we can continually improve our service and find creative solutions to problems.
About You:
It goes without saying that you’ll have fantastic customer service and financial administration skills to effectively manage a
wide range of purchase ledger and rent account daily functions. You’ll also be able to work effectively with colleagues across the
organization. It is essential that the appointed candidate has experience of working in a purchasing role or similar. We
welcome someone that is self-motivated, positive, works well under pressure, adaptable to changes, and embraces working as part of
a team, also able to prioritize their workload to ensure that they achieve performance targets and outcomes.
Experience of working within the housing sector would be useful but isn’t essential.
Essentially you will bring your expertise in providing attention to detail and accuracy when processing figures. You will be able
to work both as a team and independently with the ability to adapt and learn quickly.
We offer:
* A performance based annual bonus + pension contributions matched up to 6%
* 28 days holiday + bank holidays and the option to buy/sell holiday
* Training & Development and opportunities for continuing professional development including regular tool box talks
* A great team of colleagues to work with
* Regular social and charitable events and a range of wellbeing activities
* Enhanced family leave policies
* A really competitive package of flexible employee benefits including a cycle to work scheme
* Free parking and disabled parking
* Access to two holiday homes in Norfolk and Dorset
