Hours: 37.5 Per Week
We have an exciting opportunity for a pro-active and flexible Finance Assistant (Purchase and Sales Ledgers) to join our team at St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth.
You will report to the Finance Operations Lead and work within a small team of Finance Assistants to provide an effective and responsive finance transactional service for all departments within St Luke’s, including its trading subsidiary.
Key responsibilities for this role will be to undertake the day-to-day operations for all aspects of the hospice’s Purchase and Sales Ledgers, but you will also support other members of the Finance Assistant team as necessary, including covering for annual leave.
This will mean having the ability to cover all aspects of a charity’s financial administration and therefore previous experience within the sector would be an advantage.
Your work on the purchase and sales ledgers will include helping to maintain and advance our cloud‑based finance system, including overseeing the purchase‑to‑pay authorisation workflow, so experience of this digitally enabled working will be preferrable.
This role offers variety, responsibility and the chance to have a positive impact on how we operate as we strive for excellence within our finance function. Knowledge and experience of financial systems, internal controls, account reconciliations and strong IT skills will be essential for this position.
If you have the necessary experience, values and ethos to take on this exciting opportunity, and would like to be part of an organisation providing care and support to so many people in Plymouth and the surrounding area, we look forward to receiving your application.
