Accounts Assistant

Tired of being just another cog in the machine?

If you've ever worked in a role where your attention to detail went unnoticed or where flexibility was just a buzzword, this might be the fresh start you've been waiting for.

We're supporting a well-established manufacturing business in the North East to recruit a capable and organised Accounts Assistant, someone confident with the numbers, but just as comfortable handling general admin tasks that keep the office running smoothly.

This isn't a corporate machine. It's a small business where your input will be seen, your efforts will be appreciated, and your role will genuinely make a difference.

• Part-time hours, on your terms: You'll work around 25 hours a week, with flexibility to shape the working pattern around your other commitments, whether that's school runs, caring responsibilities or simply a better work-life balance.
• Built-in holidays: Factory shutdowns in August and December mean you're off during school holidays and over Christmas, no battles for time off.
• Variety: You won't be chained to one repetitive task. From supporting the General Manager, liaising with suppliers, to helping with credit control, no two days are the same.
• Responsibility and trust: You'll be the go-to person for keeping operations smooth and finances in check. Trusted to get things done your way.
• A grounded, supportive team: You'll join a friendly group where you're valued and your voice counts.

• Managing the day-to-day admin, calls, emails, schedules, filing and all the bits that keep things ticking.
• Keeping tabs on sales invoices, petty cash, and reconciling the bank accounts.
• Liaising with suppliers, customers, and external accountants.
• Supporting with VAT, payroll, and monthly reports, not leading them, just making sure they're accurate and ready.

• Experience in a similar finance role, ideally within a manufacturing environment.
• Proficiency in Sage 50 would be an advantage, but it's not essential.
• The ability to manage your own time and juggle tasks without being micro-managed.
• A genuine eye for detail and the kind of attitude that spots problems before they happen.

Whether you're looking for fewer hours, more flexibility, or just a job where what you do matters, this could be the one.Interested?
