Description

Finance Officer (Purchasing)

Our client's Finance team have a busy and varied workload. The finance function supports all aspects of Opera North’s work, which has recently expanded in size with the recent re-opening of the Howard Assembly Room venue and the opening of Kino, a bar and restaurant.

The work of the finance team has undergone significant changes in recent times, with recent changes to accounting systems, moving from more paper-based purchasing, payment and expense systems to digital, cloud-based systems. This significant shift in our working practices is still something that is evolving and being further shaped and developed.

The Part-time Finance Officer (Purchasing) role primarily supports purchasing and supplier payments systems. As a charity, operating in the arts sector, there are also a number of more specific reporting requirements we work to in addition to those required of regular companies.

Finance Officer Responsibilities:

• Keeping up to date purchase and supplier records to enable accurate, timely supplier payments;
• To liaise internally with all departments to assist with purchase order and invoice authorisation training and assist with queries;
• To liaise with suppliers to resolve supplier queries.
• To work with the finance team to meet its wider objectives.

They are a close and welcoming team who provider cover for each others' roles during holidays and busy periods.

Finance Officer Requirements:

They are keen to hear from people with at least two years' professional experience in a finance/accountancy department, with good experience of purchase ledger and a working knowledge of VAT.

This is a part-time role of 21 hours per week. They need someone to work these hours over at least three days each week, but beyond this they welcome discussion about working patterns. They operate a hybrid working policy, with work divided between their new office in Leeds city centre and home. They are also members of Parents in the Performing Arts and welcome applications from people from all groups, including returners and those with caring responsibilities.

No agencies please.
