University of York, United Kingdom University of York Full time

**Department**

The role is part of the Finance Department but is embedded within the department of Environment and Geography. The post thus benefits from professional support within Finance whilst also working closely with the Environment departments researchers and educators. The finance team currently consists of a finance assistant and a Management Accountant. The team supports the finance aspects of the teaching, research, and other activities of the department, working particularly closely with grant holders and research students. This role is vital in ensuring compliance with financial regulations and keeping correct records for external funders.

You will have a crucial part to play in driving efficiency by identifying good practice in departments and harmonising processes across the Faculty.

The appointment will suit a person who has practical accounting experience as part of a finance team, delivering front-line finance support to colleagues. You will liaise with a number of service areas across the University so you should be an active communicator with a flexible, ‘can do’ approach.

You will be able to work effectively both as part of a team and independently. In addition, you will be friendly and enthusiastic, with the flexibility to prioritise a varied workload and maintain a customer-service focus.

**Skills, Experience & Qualification needed**
- Minimum of 5 GCSEs including English and Maths or equivalent
- Thorough knowledge of administrative processes and procedures in a busy office environment within a large organisation
- Sound understanding of financial processes and procedures, including accruals and prepayments
