An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the established Income Management team in the varied and interesting role of Finance Assistant.

The University of Oxford is a stimulating work environment, which enjoys an international reputation as a world-class centre of excellence. Our research plays a key role in tackling many global challenges, from reducing our carbon emissions to developing vaccines during a pandemic.

The Finance Division supports the academic, research and administrative community at the University providing sound financial advice and timely information with a range of support services including financial operations, financial reporting, financial support and professional services.

What We Offer

As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees’ wellbeing and this is reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:

• An excellent contributory pension scheme

• 38 days annual leave

• A comprehensive range of childcare services

• Family leave schemes

• Cycle loan scheme

• Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans

• Membership to a variety of social and sports clubs

• A welcoming and diverse community

About the Role

The Income Office receives and allocates all University income received by a range of methods including Bank transfer, card payments, E-commerce transactions, cash and cheque. In addition, the team manages all cash floats held across the University’s departments, and supports users of the University’s Online Store facility and Corporate Barclaycard/Pre-paid card schemes.

Reporting to the Head of Income, you will be responsible for a variety of administrative tasks, together with promoting and maintaining a high quality service to departmental customers. Tasks include management of the University’s Barclaycard and Pre-paid card schemes. In addition, you will be required to undertake checks and reconciliations of advances (paid via cash or pre-paid card) to ensure that due process has been followed and expenditure is in line with University Policies. You will also have shared responsibility for managing the procedures relating to departmental banking and petty cash float reimbursements, and allocation of University income in a timely and accurate manner.

We welcome applications from all sections of the community.

You will be based in Hythe Bridge Street/OUP but there may be the opportunity to agree a pattern of remote working with your line manager.

About You

We are looking for an excellent team player with effective communication skills across all channels. You must be able to demonstrate a strong customer focus, with well developed problem solving skills, and possess the ability to manage a demanding workload in order to meet deadlines.

You will be highly organised, with excellent accuracy and attention to detail, and competent in the use of IT.

Experience of working in a high volume processing environment will be useful, as will previous use of Oracle Financials, and a knowledge of Anti-Money Laundering Regulations.

Application Process

You will be required to upload a supporting statement, CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 13 August 2024.

Interviews will take place during week commencing 26 August 2024.
