Examples of some typical activities will include: supplier set-up, data entry and transactional processing, journals and debt management. There will also be opportunities to participate with wider University activities such as Graduation and Clearing. Previous finance experience is desirable, however, being able to prioritise own workload to achieve deadlines, a working knowledge of Microsoft packages including excel and demonstrable experience of providing advice and guidance to stakeholders is essential.
