Job Description

Junior Accounts Assistant (School/College Leaver Opportunity)
Location: Studley, Warwickshire
Hours: 4 days per week (Approx. 30–35 hours)

 

A full driving licence and access to a car is essential due to our rural location. Please do not apply unless you meet this requirement.

Are you a school or college leaver with a keen interest in starting a career in accountancy? If you're organised, good with numbers, and ready to learn, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for a Junior Accounts Assistant to join our friendly finance team. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain real, hands-on experience across both purchase ledger and sales ledger functions, with full support and training provided.

 

What you’ll be doing:

Purchase Ledger Support:

  • Helping to process purchase invoices

  • Matching invoices with purchase orders

  • Assisting with reconciling supplier statements and resolving queries

  • Supporting payment runs

  • Updating supplier details in the finance system

 

Sales Ledger Support:

  • Assisting in raising and sending out sales invoices

  • Allocating payments from customers

  • Helping with credit control tasks

  • Contacting customers regarding outstanding payments

 

What we’re looking for:

  • A positive attitude and willingness to learn

  • Good attention to detail and basic maths skills

  • Confident using computers (especially Microsoft Excel)

  • Clear communication skills – both written and spoken

  • A team player who can also work independently

  • A professional and reliable approach

 

No previous experience is required, but if you’ve studied business, maths or finance at school or college, that’s a bonus.
We may also support you to work towards an AAT qualification as you develop in the role.

 

Please note:
Due to the location of our office, having a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle is essential. There are limited public transport links, so this is non-negotiable.
