Job Description

Accounts Clerk, Croydon. We are looking for an Accounts Clerk who would be interested in moving to a medium sized Developer / Contractor who is steadily growing and expanding in a field that focuses on affordable accommodation and Housing Association projects. Enthusiasm and a desire to learn are very important in the successful candidate.

The Company. Involved in a mix of social and private housing, in new build and refurbishment sectors, they specialise in finding and reclaiming sites, identifying their full potential, based on their size, shape, accessibility and immediate surroundings, always taking into account the local planning authority's housing policy. They have Design & Build capability embracing a wide range of types and styles of development, including luxury executive homes, affordable housing and special housing for the disabled and put together complete site development packages with planning consent which maximise the site value and compliment the local environment.

The Project sizes vary from 3 -4 units to larger developments of 50 plus units, either utilising timber frame or reinforced concrete construction methods in single & multiple blocks. Traditional construction will sometimes incorporate masonry and pre-cast floor slabs.

Accounts Clerk. The role has arisen through company growth and it is likely that you will have a background that shows that you are interested in developing your career, but may feel that you are not getting the opportunities where you are currently working. The systems are based primarily on Excel so familiarity with Excel would be an advantage. Your duties would include working on bought ledger, sub-contract payments, organising cheque runs, reconciling invoices and associated administrative tasks. Ideally with previous construction knowledge, through working for a contractor, in a builder’s merchants or specialist sub-contractors.

Education. You must have a minimum of GCSE Maths and English at C grade or above. Further study will be encouraged by the employer.

Working Conditions. Your working hours would generally be 0800 to 1700 for a 5 day week, with 20 days holiday per year of which 1 week is taken at Xmas. The proposed salary package would be £17,000 to £22,500, though this is negotiable, based on experience. The company work hard to retain their staff, and you will be joining a friendly company. Only applicants who are legally permitted to live and work in the UK will be considered.
