Purchase Ledger​/Accounts Payable Administrator

Videx UK is a long-established manufacturer of door entry and access control solutions, with more than 40 years' experience supplying installers, specifiers and end users throughout the UK. We are a team of more than 50 people, headquartered in Newcastle upon Tyne, and we continue to grow. This position has arisen from that continued growth, and follows some recent changes in how our finance team is structured.

We are looking for a reliable and detail-focused Purchase Ledger / Accounts Payable Administrator to support the day-to-day finance operations at Videx UK. You will own the supplier ledger end to end — maintaining supplier accounts, processing purchase invoices and payments in line with agreed trading terms, and managing employee expense claims.

This is a hands-on role in a small, close-knit finance team, where accuracy, discretion and a strong sense of ownership are genuinely valued. You will work closely with the Purchasing Department and report to the Finance Manager, with real scope to shape how our purchase ledger processes run.

• Reconciling supplier statements and clearing historic and ongoing queries
• Liaising professionally with suppliers and internal stakeholders on invoice and payment queries

• Processing and checking employee expense claims via Zoho Expense

• Someone who takes pride in getting regular, process-driven work right first time
• Proactive in resolving issues rather than simply flagging them
• Calm and methodical under pressure

• Salary of £26,000 to £30,000pa depending on experience
• 20 days' holiday plus bank holidays, rising with service
