Prepare to be challenged!

You will join the Management Accounting team in our Shared Service Centre where you will be involved in the monthly, quarterly, and year-end financial accounting and reporting process, learn about the core financial activities that are undertaken to support the business, use financial systems and provide insightful information through reporting.

Who do we need?

We’re looking for graduates with a 2:1 or above and a real interest in developing a career within Finance management.
