Do you enjoy juggling different tasks and priorities? Do you have the focus to complete tasks to deadlines, and have an eye for detail? Do you want a job that allows you to work flexibly? If so, read on...

We are looking for someone who is organised and loves working with numbers. You will have good communication skills - both written and verbal - and enjoy working closely with other people as part of a busy finance team.

To be successful, you’ll have excellent attention to detail and a good understanding of Microsoft Office products and wider knowledge of ERP systems. We deal with a large volume of sensitive data and information, so sensitive handling and confidentiality are paramount to us. Having an organised and logical approach to work is essential, as these are the qualities that enable us to deliver on our objective of providing the best possible service to both our internal and external stakeholders.

You will have GCSEs at Grade C/4 and above in English and Maths and ideally have had supervisory experience working within Accounts Payable.

As a Purchase Ledger Supervisor at the Mining Remediation Authority, you will be part of the Finance team that provides a professional service to all departments. The Finance team plays an important role supporting the organisation to spend wisely and deliver value for money. You will supervise, support and develop the Finance Administrator in part of their day-to-day role in assisting with Accounts Payable processing.

This role will give you plenty of opportunity to learn about working in a busy finance team and will develop your skills and knowledge. You will also have the opportunity to get involved in a range of ad hoc tasks, including assisting in the implementation of our new ERP system.

We don’t expect candidates to meet every single desired requirement. If your experience looks a little different from what we've identified and you think you can bring value to the role, we'd love to learn more about you!
