Description
Are you looking for an exciting, hands-on role that will kickstart your finance career and provide you with real-world experience? This Regional Finance Administrator position is a fantastic stepping stone for graduates, AAT studiers, or early-career finance professionals wanting to gain valuable experience in finance operations, audit, and business partnering.
This role is field-based, requiring you to travel regularly to supported living services across the South West and South East regions. You will be working onsite at multiple locations, reviewing and reconciling financial records, receipts, and spend to ensure accuracy and transparency. Because of the nature of this role, a valid driver’s licence and access to a vehicle are essential, as you will be expected to drive frequently between sites, sometimes staying overnight with expenses covered.
This 6 to 9-month fixed-term contract offers a unique chance to build a varied and strong finance skillset that will open doors for future opportunities. Whether you want to continue in a travelling role or use this experience to move into a more local finance position closer to home, this job will give you the foundation to progress.
