Job description

The role

Are you looking for a new challenge and interested in joining one of our key Finance teams at the University?


We are looking for a Finance Assistant to work in one of our Accounts Payable teams. Accounts Payable is made up of three separate teams - two Processing teams serving our colleagues within Faculty Finance, plus the Payments team, who undertake the processing of BACS and Bank Transfer payments. This part-time role working 25 hours per week is within one of the Processing teams.


You will process invoices, expense claims and any other ad hoc payments in a professional and timely manner. You will also deal with any related queries and deliver excellent customer service to your contacts.

What will you be doing?

  • You will be allocated a group of suppliers and will be responsible for any manual interventions and chasing up other approvers in the workflow to ensure invoices are processed and paid within the agreed payment terms (usually 30 days).
  • This will involve working through a list of invoices, dealing with statements and any other supplier queries as they arise.
  • You will also be involved in checking submitted staff and non-staff expense claims, as well as dealing with queries in the internal mailbox.
  • Other ad hoc tasks include being involved in implementing Continuous Improvement initiatives and any other short-term projects.

You should apply if

  • You should have an aptitude for working with finance and non-finance specialists and a customer service focused attitude.
  • We are looking for applicants educated to at least GCSE level or equivalent.
  • Experience of working within an Accounts Payable role and using a purchasing system in a large complex organisation and an awareness of VAT regulations is desirable but not essential.
  • You should be a good communicator, able to organise workloads effectively and work well under pressure.
  • You must be a good team player, but able to work independently on your own specific tasks and queries.
