- Be involved in the maintenance, testing and development of the payment system (LIFT)
- Be involved with banking, cash handling and reconciling a perry cash account.

- GCSE or Equivalent in English Language and Maths at grade C/ Level 4 or above.
- A good working knowledge of Microsoft Office, Including Outlook, Word, Excel, MS Teams and One note
- Good organisational and communication skills
- Experience of working with colleagues to tackle challenges and resolve problems.
- Attention to detail and confidence in making financial calculations.
- Recent experience of working a financial/administrative role

We’re proud to be here for the people of Somerset. And that means everyone in Somerset. An important part of this is ensuring that we are as diverse and inclusive as the people and communities we serve.

**What will I be offered in return?**
We are proud to offer an environment that is supportive and rewarding, working as part of a team who are passionate about the work they do to improve the lives of people in Somerset.

We offer great training and development opportunities, with supportive management. As well as this, we have some fantastic employee benefits available:

- We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.
- Generous annual leave allowance, with the opportunity to purchase additional leave
- Staff discounts in gyms.
- Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee wellbeing services.
- Auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme and optional pension enhancement through our Additional Voluntary Contribution scheme.
