Care sector finance experience essential

Are you an experienced Accounts Assistant with finance experience in the care, healthcare or social care sector?

We’re partnering with a growing finance team that is looking for an Accounts Assistant to support day-to-day finance operations across AR, AP, reconciliations, billing and general finance administration.

This is a 6-month fixed-term contract, with potential to become permanent as the team continues to grow. You’ll be joining a busy, hands-on finance environment where you can add value quickly, support operational teams, and work across care-related billing and transactional finance processes.

This role would suit someone who understands the pace and detail required in care-sector finance, particularly around local authority, private client, NHS or resident billing.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll support day-to-day finance activity across the business, including:

• Processing purchase invoices, supplier payments and statement reconciliations
• Supporting sales ledger activity, including raising invoices and allocating receipts
• Assisting with resident, client, local authority and NHS-related billing where required
• Reconciling bank accounts, petty cash, credit cards and control accounts
• Maintaining accurate supplier, customer and finance records
• Supporting month-end processes, including accruals, prepayments and reporting schedules where required
• Investigating and resolving invoice, payment and account queries
• Liaising with care home managers, operational teams, suppliers, commissioners and local authorities
• Assisting with payroll-related administration where needed
• Providing general finance and administrative support to the wider team

What we’re looking for

You’ll likely have experience in an Accounts Assistant, Finance Assistant, Accounts Administrator, Billing Assistant or similar role, with previous finance experience in the care sector.

Experience in one or more of the following would be beneficial:

• Residential care
• Domiciliary care
• Supported living
• Health and social care
• Local authority billing
• NHS-related billing
• Private client or resident billing
• Purchase ledger
• Sales ledger
• Bank reconciliations
• Month-end support

You’ll need good attention to detail, strong organisational skills and confidence working with finance systems and Excel. You should also be comfortable communicating with both finance and operational teams, and handling confidential financial and resident/client information professionally.

Experience with Xero, Sage, QuickBooks or care management platforms would be beneficial, but isn’t essential.

Why this role stands out

• Up to £31k salary
• Fully remote working across the UK
• 6-month FTC with potential to become permanent
• Varied role across AR, AP, reconciliations and billing
• Opportunity to use your care-sector finance experience
• Exposure to local authority, NHS, private client and resident billing processes
• Practical, hands-on role where you can add value quickly
• Join a friendly team in a growing company with long-term potential
