The Role

Are you looking for a role that will give you exposure to a wide range of finance activity and the chance to work on projects that really make a difference?

We have an exciting fixed-term opportunity (15 months) for an Accounts Assistant to join our Contract Financial Management team.

This team plays a vital role in providing expert funder advice and financial management for the University's research and non-research projects — often involving multi-million-pound budgets and collaboration with multiple domestic and international institutions.

This is a varied and rewarding role, giving you the chance to:

• Gain a strong grounding in all aspects of finance within a large, complex organisation
• Take responsibility for a diverse portfolio of projects once trained
• Use your initiative and judgement to make decisions and resolve issues
• Build strong working relationships with colleagues and stakeholders across the University

We're looking for a confident communicator who is well-organised, customer-focused, and comfortable working to tight deadlines. Strong numerical and IT skills, along with attention to detail, are essential to succeed in this role.

If you're ready to build valuable experience and play a key role in supporting impactful projects, we'd love to hear from you.

Informal enquiries are welcome and should be addressed to Donna Slassor via email: donna.slassor@newcastle.ac.uk.

Please ensure you upload a covering letter with your CV when applying for this role.
