Take Ownership. Make an Impact. Grow With Us.
About Us & The Opportunity
We are a growing SME with over 14 years of continuous growth, looking for a proactive, hands-on Finance & Admin/HR Manager to join our team and be part of our next stage of growth.
We believe that the right person can make a real difference to a business. We are looking for someone with a sharp mind, a keen eye for detail, and the initiative to go beyond routine tasks to identify opportunities for improvement.
This is a hands-on, multi-functional role covering finance, accounting, HR, payroll, and administration. You will work closely with our company directors, giving you direct access to management, visibility into back end business operations, and the opportunity to contribute ideas that can make a meaningful difference.
We value initiative, accountability, and practical problem-solving. You will have the autonomy to manage your responsibilities, recommend better ways of working, and help strengthen our processes as the business grows.
If you enjoy variety, thrive in a lean SME environment, and want to see the direct results of your contributions, this could be the right opportunity for you.
