What will you be doing?

You will be working in the biggest part of the Society, supporting our growing food retail businesses.  The food business continues to grow with significant investment in our new store programme and existing stores.

You’ll be a key member of the Food team, getting to grips with the numbers in this interesting and varied business area, producing period end management accounts and performance reporting for internal and external stakeholders.

You’ll provide support, and learn from the wider team, whether that’s maintaining a focus on financial controls, preparing balance sheet reconciliations, or helping business leaders understand results in order to drive future improvements.

How will I know if I am right for this role?

You’ll have done elements of transactional finance, management accounting and / or other accounting roles previously, potentially have completed your AAT finance qualification and be looking to study further towards CIMA or ACCA.

You’ll have strong Excel skills, as well as being happy to use different systems and having good attention to detail.  You’ll work well as part of a team, supporting and learning from others
