About Caring Together Charity
Our vision is a world with no unpaid carer in crisis, isolated or struggling alone.
Three in five of us will become a carer at some point in our lives. Caring Together is an ambitious regional charity that provides emotional and practical support, information and advice to carers of all ages and their families, as well as opportunities to take a break from their caring role.
About the role
As our Assistant Accountant, you’ll play a key role in our small but mighty finance team. You’ll be responsible for:
- Managing purchase ledger and ensuring timely supplier payments.
- Completing bank reconciliations.
- Supporting sales invoicing and payroll (training provided).
- Assisting with month-end reporting, including accruals, prepayments, and VAT.
- Providing financial insights to budget holders.
- Supporting the Director of Finance and Resources and Management Accountant with ad-hoc tasks.
You’ll be part of a supportive environment where learning and development are encouraged, and your work will directly contribute to improving the lives of unpaid carers.
What we are looking for
- Part-qualified or actively studying AAT, ACCA, or CIMA.
- Experience with purchase ledger, sales invoicing, and accounts to trial balance.
- Strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills.
- A proactive, flexible team player with great communication skills.
- Experience with Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, People Planner, or Salesforce is a bonus – but not essential.
What we offer
- Hybrid working – up to three days from home.
- Flexible working culture.
- 25 days annual leave + bank holidays.
- Company pension scheme.
- Paid carer’s leave.
- Wellbeing programme.
- Staff referral scheme.
- Ongoing training and development opportunities.
You’ll be joining a dedicated team who are passionate about making a difference. If you’re ready to bring your finance skills to a role with purpose, we’d love to hear from you.
