Finance Assistant

In Client Financial Services we currently have vacancies for a number of full-time permanent and temporary Finance Assistant posts on the Financial Assessment and Charging Team (FACT) and the Provider Payments Team.

We are looking for highly motivated, efficient individuals who will have good ICT skills and the proven ability to use their initiative.

Good literacy and numerical skills, the ability to analyse financial information and to process that data quickly and accurately are essential. Candidates will have responsibility for managing their individual workload whilst being an effective team member.

Post holders will be required to work flexibly which may involve working from home as well as in the office, dependent on the needs of the service.
