Finance Administrator

Location: Carlisle (Hybrid after 4 weeks)

Pay Rate: £12.86 per hour (Accrued)

Contract: 3 Months (with potential for permanent transition)

Are you an experienced Finance professional looking for a focused, fast-paced contract role in Carlisle? We are seeking a detail-oriented Finance Administrator to join a busy Purchase to Pay (P2P) team.

This is a critical role ensuring the smooth flow of financial operations, specifically supporting school invoicing and resolving complex payment queries.

As part of the P2P team, you will be the engine room of the accounts department. Your daily responsibilities will include:

• Invoice Processing: High-volume processing of supplier and service invoices with 100% accuracy.

• Problem Solving: Investigating and resolving "held" invoices to ensure timely payments.

• Sector Support: Facilitating and managing specialized invoicing for local schools.

• Supplier Liaison: Communicating professionally with stakeholders to resolve discrepancies.

We believe in getting you up to speed the right way.

• Weeks 1-4: Full office-based induction and training in Carlisle to integrate with the team.

• Week 5 onwards: Transition to a hybrid working model, allowing you to balance home and office life.

We are looking for candidates who can "hit the ground running." To be successful, you will need:

• A solid background in Finance or Accounts Payable.

• Previous experience with P2P processes or large-scale invoice management.

• High proficiency in data entry and financial software.

• The ability to commit to a 3-month contract (with the proactive mindset needed should a permanent vacancy arise).

While this is initially a 3-month project to support the team's current volume, it is an excellent "foot in the door" with a major local employer. For the right candidate, there is a possibility of the role moving to a permanent contract depending on performance and departmental needs.
