Purchase Ledger Clerk

If you enjoy purchase ledger and take pride in keeping things accurate and under control, this role offers exactly that, with the added opportunity to get involved in reconciliations and broader finance responsibilities over time.

You'll benefit from a 3 pm finish every Friday, along with planned factory shutdowns across the year. In total, around four weeks are built around school holiday periods, offering a level of predictability and time off that is hard to find in most roles.

This is an office-based position where you can take ownership of a busy but manageable ledger, work in a relaxed environment without constant interruptions, and build your experience beyond pure invoice processing.

The business is a long-established manufacturing group that has seen strong growth in recent years. The culture is relaxed and low on unnecessary meetings. You will be trusted to get on with your work while being supported by experienced leadership.

This is a hands-on purchase ledger role supporting multiple group entities, with responsibility for keeping the day-to-day running smoothly.

• Processing purchase invoices and matching them to goods receipts
• Managing invoice approvals and supplier statement reconciliations
• Preparing and running monthly payment runs
• Posting credit card, petty cash, and bank transactions
• Completing monthly bank reconciliations and supporting intercompany balances

It is a role where accuracy and consistency matter, but there is also room to get involved in more.

• A minimum of 2 to 3 years' experience in a similar role
• Confident using Excel and working with spreadsheets
• Highly organised and reliable, with the ability to work within structured processes

• Salary: 28,000 to 30,000 depending on experience
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Fixed shutdowns, including May, summer and October half-term holidays
• Early finish at 3 pm on Fridays
• Annual bonuses
• Flexibility around start and finish times
