Overview

Fixed term contract - until 31/10/2024
It's a great time to join Screwfix.

Thanks to the hard work of our team and record-breaking sales, we're proud to be one of the fastest-growing retailers in the UK.

And we want to pass that growth onto you.

Whether you're in procurement, digital, marketing or finance, there's a role for you here. We'll support you. And we'll champion you. Because great things happen when you feel supported to be yourself. We're innovative. Bold. Adaptable and ambitious. And you will be too.


We are recruiting for an Accounts Payable Assistant on a 6-month fixed-term contract, reporting to the Accounts Payable Team Leader.

You'll be responsible for accurately processing invoices for payment, reconciling supplier accounts and resolving any problems preventing invoice payment.

You'll work with external suppliers and internal Screwfix colleagues to ensure invoices are processed in line with our compliance & payment terms.

This is an ideal first step for anyone looking to have a career in finance; Screwfix has excellent opportunities for personal and professional development, with many of our fixed-term contracts being extended or moving to permanent roles within the business.

Beyond that, how, when and where you work is up to you.

With a subsidised canteen, free parking and a comfortable, relaxed environment, we've worked hard to build an office you'll want to work in.
