Full job description

closing date: Sunday 21 June 2026 salary: £19,000 per annum - apprentice location: Bishop Auckland, Hybrid, Seaham

Do you want to work for a fantastic organisation that cares about you, your learning, your career, and your future?

We’re on the lookout for an Apprentice Finance Assistant to join our team in September 2026 for 18 months.

This is a great opportunity to start your career, gaining hands on experience while working towards a recognised Level 3 Assistant Accountant Apprenticeship standard and study towards an AAT Level 3 accounting qualification.

What this role is all about

As a Finance assistant you’ll spend time with different teams across the finance function, gaining a broad range of experience across the different specialisms and roles within a finance team. This will include areas such as accounts payable, rent and income, management accounts, and budgeting, allowing you to build a wide range of practical skills, understand end‑to‑end financial processes, and identify areas of interest for future career development.

You’ll learn on the job while getting involved in:

hands on experience with core finance processes such as invoice processing, bank reconciliations, and maintaining financial records
rent and service charge accounting, including helping to monitor income and arrears
learning how a housing association is funded and how finances support social and affordable housing services
working closely with colleagues across finance and other departments, developing communication and teamwork skills
finance systems and spreadsheets to input data, run reports, and check accuracy
structured training and study support alongside day‑to‑day work to build professional finance knowledge and qualifications
developing an understanding of governance, compliance, and regulatory requirements relevant to the social housing sector

For more information, please see the full job description.

What you’ll learn

During your apprenticeship, you’ll gain practical experience and develop skills in:

Advanced bookkeeping and double entry, including journals and period end adjustments
preparing financial statements (e.g., statements of profit or loss and financial position under supervision, where appropriate)
costing and basic management accounting techniques to support budgets and decision making
indirect tax awareness (e.g., VAT principles and returns) and how to communicate finance information clearly.

What we’re looking for

We don’t expect you to know everything, this is a learning role, but we’re looking for someone who is:

Curious, enthusiastic and eager to learn
organised with good attention to detail
a confident communicator, both written and verbal
friendly and focused on providing great customer service
comfortable working both independently and as part of a team
willing to ask questions and take on feedback
interested in a career in Finance.

Minimum requirements

GCSE Maths and English at grade 4/C or above

Please note: applicants must not hold an existing qualification at the same or higher level than this apprenticeship in a similar subject.

What’s on offer?

As well as the opportunity to earn while you learn, some of our top benefits include:

a competitive salary of £19,000 per annum
31 days annual leave
up to four days paid volunteering leave each year
excellent pension scheme

At believe housing, it’s more than just a job. You’ll be part of a supportive team where you can be yourself, grow your career, and make a difference to our customers’ lives.

How to apply

If you believe you demonstrate our values and can bring something special to this role, apply now — we’re looking forward to hearing from you.

Successful candidates will be invited to attend an assessment day at Coast House, Seaham, where you’ll get to meet us and we’ll get to meet you.

Closing date

Applications close at 11:59pm on Sunday, 21 June 2026.
