Payroll and Accounts Specialist

**Company Description** We’re the nation’s favourite heating brand, here to warm up people’s homes, lives, and futures.**

**First thing’s first, we’re flying the flag for a more responsible age of heating in the UK, looking after both people and the planet. The world needs more green technologies and we’re right in the thick of it, with our brand-new heat pumps and hybrid heating systems.**

**But it’s not all tools and tech. People are the real heart of our company. We connect with our customers to deliver genuinely helpful support, and we care about our employees and give them enriching careers. We work hard, we work together, and we work with a cause - delivering brilliant customer support and exceptional engineering.**

**And as an organisation of more than 1,800 employees, we also take our role in the communities we serve seriously. From giving away free heating systems for community spaces, to our charity, education, and volunteer work - we’re no strangers to rolling our sleeves up, getting stuck in, and helping out.**

**If that sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, we’d love to meet you.**
