About the Institute

What you will need

The work of the Institute's staff team is customer-facing due to the significant numbers of visiting researchers being at the heart of what we do, therefore you will need excellent communications skills and a conscientious and enthusiastic approach to your work.

You will be educated to A level standard/NVQ level 3 or have an equivalent level of related practical experience in an accounts environment.

Using your knowledge of finance/accounting administration, and following local and University procedures, you will be required to work on your own initiative within the scope of your role, exercising good time management skills to plan your work in order to meet tight deadlines when they arise.

Ideally, you will have working knowledge of accounting software systems. Experience of Microsoft Office packages is essential, particularly Excel.
