We value flexibility at Selwood Housing, and many of the team work from home 3 - 4 days a week, although this can fluctuate depending on business needs. 

If you are savvy when it comes to accounting principles, can motivate a team on a Monday, and revel in the little details, we want to speak to you.

  • 3 years’ experience in a finance environment
  • Accounts payable experience (Payroll experience a bonus)
  • Strong leadership skills
  • Good knowledge of accounting principles
  • Excellent attention to detail & accuracy
  • Good communication & interpersonal skills
  • Analytical & problem solving abilities
  • Organisational & time management skills

Although it is not necessary, experience and understanding of social housing will be a bonus.

  • 30 holiday plus bank holidays
  • 2 paid gifted days; one for your birthday and one over Christmas
  • Buy/sell up to 1 week’s holiday
  • Life assurance
