Description

We have unparalleled experience across all sectors in the built and natural environments and are a trusted partner to our valued clients and fellow professionals.

You will enjoy working in a busy, friendly, sometimes time pressured environment to meet a variety of deadlines.

This is a fantastic opportunity to gain and develop valuable skills while working with experienced professionals in the finance field.

Training to be provided

You will undertake the "Accounts / Finance Assistant" Apprenticeship (an Intermediate Apprenticeship in Accounting), with full support from Accountancy Learning as part of their Flexible Apprenticeship Programme.

Assessment will be by an "End Point Assessment", which will include the following two elements:

• A Structured Interview. This will consist of 10 questions asked by an AAT Independent Assessor. It will last 60 minutes and will be performed remotely via the AAT on-line video portal. The questions will allowing you to to display the knowledge and experience you have obtained over your apprenticeship. You will build a Portfolio of reflections and product evidence that will be used to support your answers to these 10 questions.
• An Intray Test. This will be undertaken under exam conditions and will last 105 minutes. It will be based on what you have studied in your AAT Level 2 Certificate in Accounting.

Successful completion of the AAT (Level 2) Foundation Certificate in Accounting is a mandatory element of the Accounts / Finance Assistant Apprenticeship.

Your Apprenticeship will therefore include formal studies towards this qualification.

It is anticipated that your apprenticeship duration will be for 15 months, although earlier completion is possible, provided the duration exceeds one year and a week.

You will receive support from both the employer, and the training provider, to complete and achieve your Apprenticeship and will be given time to study during the week on a day release basis.

As you learn more in both the office and in your studies your responsibilities, and the variety of tasks you undertake, are expected to increase.
