We’re looking for an eager Finance/Accounts Assistant to join our team – take a look to find out more!

University College of Estate Management (UCEM) is a long-standing and leading provider of supported online education. We exist to provide accessible, relevant and cost-effective education which enhances careers, increases professionalism and leads to a better Built Environment; we are also very passionate about sustainability. Operating from the UK and Hong Kong we have a global reach, and at any one time over 3,500 students are studying online with us. UCEM passed its first ever inspection by Ofsted with flying colours after earning an overall rating of ‘Good’ in November 2021.

This is a great opportunity for a Finance or Accounts Assistant to build on their existing experience and knowledge in a busy and supportive Finance team, supporting with all aspects of student finance. This will include monitoring and controlling external student finance sources, processing and allocating student payments, keeping student information and finance systems up to date and dealing with all finance related student and colleague enquiries.

Your key responsibilities will centre around:

  • Monitoring and carry out timely administration for external funding such as Student Loans, ELCAS (MoD Enhanced Learning Credits) and Future Finance Loans
  • Ensuring SITS records are correctly maintained for student billing information.
  • Receiving, checking, acknowledging, and collating application forms.
  • Handling student withdrawals and assessing their eligibility for refunds. Updating relevant systems as required.
  • Providing back-up for accounts payable operation.
  • Processing rejected student instalment payments, ensuring students are notified.
  • Resolving issues raised by internal student teams and academic departments.

To deliver these responsibilities we need to combine your excellent IT skills, attention to detail and strong communication skills. Previous experience in a similar fast-paced accounts or finance role and a minimum of an AAT level 2 qualification are essential.

At UCEM we expect employees to demonstrate our values: Passion, Integrity, Excellence and Support. Student satisfaction and success are our main drivers and our people consistently report high levels of employee engagement; your contribution will be valued should you join us.
