Finance Assistant

Salary: £24,316 per annum
Contract Type: Permanent Full time 37 hours per week
Reference: REC2166 | Closing Date: Monday, 7th July 2025
The Opportunity
You will be an important part of our friendly Finance team that supports the smooth running of the College's financial operations. Working within a supportive and experienced finance department, you will deliver a responsive and efficient service by carrying out a range of financial and administrative tasks. While your main focus will be on the purchase ledger, your work will also involve other areas such as accounts receivable, credit control, reconciliations and banking.
You will also take responsibility for raising and issuing sales invoices, following up on outstanding payments and responding to customer queries. On the purchase ledger side, you will process invoices, manage supplier queries and reconcile supplier statements. You will also handle general administrative duties and maintain accurate records, making sure all transactions are correctly matched and allocated to the right accounts.
This is a varied role that gives you the chance to work closely with both internal teams and external stakeholders, so a positive and professional approach to customer service is essential. You will use the College's finance systems daily to manage data, produce orders and credit notes, and help ensure financial processes run smoothly and in line with policy.
You will join a team that values accuracy, teamwork and a shared commitment to high standards. You will also support the wider goals of the College by promoting equality, safeguarding and continuous improvement. With access to relevant training and development, you will have the opportunity to build on your skills and grow within a busy and well-organised environment.
This is a great opportunity to build your experience in a busy, professional finance environment while working as part of a supportive and knowledgeable team. You will develop a strong understanding of both purchase and sales ledger processes, giving you a well-rounded foundation in finance operations.
About You
For this role, we are looking for someone who is organised, accurate and confident working with financial information. You will bring at least twelve months of experience working in an office environment, ideally within a finance department, which will have given you a solid understanding of financial processes and day-to-day administrative duties.
You should be comfortable using finance systems and Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and be open to learning new systems and processes. Ideally, you will hold AAT Level 2 or an equivalent qualification, which will support your ability to carry out tasks such as invoice processing, reconciliations and data entry with confidence and accuracy.
Communication skills are essential. You will have an excellent telephone manner and the ability to communicate clearly and professionally with colleagues across departments, as well as with external customers and suppliers. A helpful and professional attitude is key to supporting the team and delivering a reliable and customer-focused service.
You will need to manage your time effectively, meet deadlines and stay calm under pressure. Flexibility is also important, as you may be asked to support a range of tasks depending on the needs of the team. Most importantly, you should be someone who takes pride in their work, contributes to a positive team environment and is keen to support the smooth and efficient running of the College's finance function.
Below is a list of some of the key skills, qualifications and experience we are seeking for this exciting opportunity.
Required
• Four GCSEs at A–C (or equivalent), including English and Maths, or a Level 2 NVQ
• At least two years office-based experience with strong administrative skills
Preferred
• AAT Level 2 Foundation Certificate in Accounting or equivalent qualification
• Experience working within a finance department
• Experience in a credit control role
Closing date for applications is Monday, 7th July 2025. We reserve the right to close this vacancy early depending on the level of interest.
