Finance Apprentice at WaterAid
- Deadline : 24 Aug 2014
- Interview dates : w/c 1 September 2014
- Salary : £19,253 with excellent benefits
It’s hard to believe that today 748 million people still don’t have clean, safe water and 2.5 billion live without a toilet. The resulting diseases kill one child every minute.
WaterAid is looking for a Finance Apprentice to play a vital role in our mission to transform lives with safe water, sanitation and hygiene in the world’s poorest communities.
Working within the Finance team, you will primarily be responsible for supporting the accounts payable function. Tasks include the entering of invoices/expense claims onto the accounting system and reconciling invoices on the accounting system to supplier statements of account, investigating differences when they arise. The role also involves ensuring invoices are correctly coded and authorised.
You will also be responsible for liaising with country programme finance staff to ensure costs are allocated correctly to each office. You will be responsible for preparing bi-weekly cheque and cash donations for banking. The role also involves raising sales invoices and liaising with trade debtors to ensure prompt payment, and reconciling bank accounts as part of our month end processes.
The role is aimed at an entry-level candidate who is seeking to embark on a career within accounting and finance and intends to obtain a formal accountancy qualification. We will provide study support with this.
Upon successful completion of the 12 month contract, it is expected that the Apprentice will graduate to the role of Senior Finance Apprentice. This role is also a 12 month fixed term contract and involves taking responsibility for more complex tasks within the Finance team. It allows the Apprentice to complete their Level 4 AAT qualification.
By 2030 we want everyone, everywhere to have clean water, sanitation and hygiene. We need you to help us make it happen. If you bring your expertise, passion and professionalism, we’ll give you a lot back.
Working with us, you will be entitled to a wide range of employee benefits, such as an exceptional pension fund, medical cash plans, an employee assistance programme, generous annual leave and Save As You Learn schemes, as well as fitness and lifestyle programmes.
Please note: in order to apply for this role you must be able to demonstrate your eligibility to work in the UK.
