Description

Accounts Payable Assistant (0715):

We have an excellent opportunity for an Accounts Payable Assistant to join our team in Newcastle on a part time basis, working 2 days a week (either Wednesday & Thursday, or Thursday & Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pm)

_ The __team_**Central to our success are of course our very talented lawyers, but they couldn't achieve their results without the ongoing support from our Finance team who have an essential role to play in growing the business and maintaining our financial performance. Our finance teams adopt a "one team" approach and so you'll be working closely alongside our other departments to ensure the smooth running of our financial operations.

_ The __role_**In this busy and varied role you can expect to be involved with a broad range of tasks, ranging from dealing with supplier invoices and statements, managing our accounts payable inbox, handling supplier queries and calls and processing payments.

_ What are we looking for?_

To be successful in this role you must have previous experience of working within a finance department, so that you have an understanding of basic finance processing.

Equally important though, are the skills that you've developed; strong IT skills are a must, along with a meticulous and detailed approach.

In keeping with our culture, you'll need to be supportive to colleagues and demonstrate a flexible and helpful attitude. In addition, you'll be professional and pragmatic with a naturally inquisitive nature. We're looking for a well organised individual with great attention to detail.

What makes it great to work here?_**We continually work hard to create an open culture that sets us apart from other firms.

Our culture gives us much more of a human feel, emphasising that we're more than just suits We like and make time for each other enabling us to establish professional relationships that can often become lasting friendships.

Through our D&I initiatives we create an environment in which difference is valued. We have a Diversity and Inclusion Group, led by our Board Sponsor, which works with our colleague networks (we currently have firm supported networks for race, ethnicity, and cultural heritage, LGBTQ+, disabilities, families, and women's career development and we're in constant dialogue with our people about how we expand our networks to better support everybody). We encourage applicants from all social backgrounds, ethnicities, disabilities, gender identities and sexual orientations. Please get in touch to let us know how we can

As signatories to the Mindful Business Charter, it's important that our people are able to maintain healthy and happy lives, both in and out of work. We have a number of resources and initiatives designed to support health and wellbeing, including our team of dedicated mental health first aiders. We recognise that getting the right work life balance is a priority for all of us and we're very happy to talk flexible working, fulltime or parttime working patterns. We also recognise the challenges of relocation and postpandemic return to the office.
And that's not all, alongside a competitive salary you'll receive a flexible benefits package so you can choose and vary the benefits that matter most to you.
