Job Description

As our Finance & Administration Co-ordinator (FAC) you will be responsible for providing excellent financial, accounting and administrative services to our residents and suppliers as well as your Highstone Housing Association (HHA) colleagues. You will have responsibility for delivering our accounts payable and receivable functions as well as undertaking accounting reconciliations and supporting the delivery of other accountancy and finance services across the organisation. You will also take responsibility for managing our head office and providing excellent administrative services.

The successful candidate will be highly organised, with strong attention to detail, and will have a strong understanding of book keeping. You will ideally be qualified to AAT level 2 and have a keen interest in housing finance. The successful candidate will be proficient at using Sage 50 and housing IT systems as well as understanding how to keep meticulous accounting records.

The post holder will be subject to a DBS check and must hold a full driving licence with access to their own vehicle. The role will be based at our head office in Barnsley but you will be expected to travel to our properties around Yorkshire as required. It may be possible for the successful applicant to work at home for some of the working week but this will be subject to satisfactory performance and business needs.

The successful applicant will be required to join our out of hours rota which will involve being available to take calls and, potentially, respond to serious incidents outside of working hours for one week at a time roughly every eight weeks. Our out of hours services are primarily provided by a third party company and so at present HHA staff are a second point of contact in the unlikely event that the third party company is unable to deal with an incident.
