About the role... Reporting to the Finance Team Leader, this is a fixed-term role created to provide operational support and cover within the Finance team while three colleagues participate in a major internal systems project. The successful postholder will provide support across a range of finance activities, covering key responsibilities within the Senior Income Officer, Senior Payments Officer and Finance Business Partner functions. The role will also provide administrative support across the wider Finance team, helping to maintain continuity of service and the effective delivery of day-to-day operations throughout the project period. You'll be responsible for a broad range of financial administration and accounting activities, including Direct Debit administration, rent accounting and Housing Benefit processing, banking reconciliations, sales and purchase ledger activities, supplier payments, account reconciliations and credit control. You will also support financial reporting, audit requirements and key system processes, ensuring records are maintained accurately and activities are carried out in accordance with financial regulations, policies and procedures.

Alongside good intermediate IT skills and experience using finance systems, you'll bring a proactive approach to problem-solving, a commitment to continuous improvement and the ability to work independently while contributing positively to the wider team. Experience of supporting senior finance functions and providing operational cover across multiple areas of finance would be advantageous. About us...
