The Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Lead Cashier to join our existing friendly, professional finance team.

Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, you will be responsible for the legal cashiering function for the group, delivering an efficient, effective and accurate service. As an experienced hands-on legal cashier, you will be responsible for managing the cashiering team to ensure the smooth running of a best-in-class department.
