We are inviting applications for a Finance Assistant to join the Buyers Team supporting the University’s purchasing and finance functions.

Reporting to the Senior Finance Assistant, you will act as the first point of contact in the Buyers Team. You will be responsible for converting requisitions into purchase orders for goods and services, some travel bookings and various (purchase order) housekeeping activities. You will also provide a range of finance-related support and advice to staff and students via teams and email, with a welcoming and helpful can-do attitude, so a customer service focus is important.

You should be able to demonstrate an interest in Finance, though previous experience in a finance role is not an essential requirement as full training will be provided. You should have good attention to detail, understand the importance of budgeting and adhering to policy, with the ability to manage your time well and prioritise tasks to meet deadlines. We are looking for individuals with good inter-personal skills, with the ability to work with staff and students from a range of backgrounds.

At the University of Nottingham, we aim to give you all the support you need to nurture your talent, develop, and reach your professional and personal career goals. We are committed to providing competitive employment packages whilst supporting the well-being of our staff to help them reach their full potential. We offer a range of benefits, visit Your Benefits website to learn what we can offer you.

This is a permanent position, full-time (36.25 hours per week). Job share arrangements may be considered.
