We are seeking a motivated, organised, and career-focused Junior Bookkeeper & Practice Support Assistant to join our team on a part-time basis.

While administrative responsibilities form part of the position, the successful candidate will be working within a busy bookkeeping practice and will be expected to learn bookkeeping, accounting processes, and financial systems. The role requires strong attention to detail, the ability to work accurately under pressure, and a willingness to continuously develop new skills.
For the right person, this presents an excellent opportunity to build a long-term career in bookkeeping with the potential to progress into a full-time role as the business continues to grow.
Hybrid working may be considered following successful completion of the probation period.

Important
This role can be fast-paced and demanding, particularly during busy client deadlines and reporting periods. We are looking for someone who enjoys learning, takes pride in accuracy, and is prepared to develop a strong understanding of bookkeeping and financial administration.
