About

This Assistant Accountant role is designed for someone who wants more than routine reporting — it’s about stepping closer to the commercial heartbeat of the business and building the skills that move you into operational finance. You’ll sit at the centre of day-to-day financial activity, gaining exposure to costing, forecasting and business performance across manufacturing, supply chain and R&D. If progression matters to you and you want a role that will actively develop rather than stand still, this is where it starts. This is a full-time role, based in the office 5 days per week. The office is based in a very rural location, so your own transport is essential.
