Are you someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes? Join our finance team in Hornby on a fixed-term contract through to the end of August 2026, where accuracy, collaboration, and continuous improvement are at the heart of everything we do.

**A bit about your role**

As the Accounts Payable Officer, you will play a key role in ensuring the efficient and accurate processing of a high volume of supplier invoices, employee expense claims, and company credit card reconciliations.

You bring energy, initiative, and a collaborative spirit to everything you do.

You’re comfortable using financial systems and enjoy finding ways to improve processes. Your communication skills and ability to build strong relationships across departments will be key to your success.
