What We’re Looking For

• Monday to Friday working
• No weekends
• 8:30am–5:00pm hours

• Training on company-specific systems and processes

As this is a small business, there may occasionally be times when you’ll help the wider team with things such as stocktaking, checking deliveries or other general operational tasks. We’re therefore looking for someone who is happy to muck in when needed.

If you have previous accounts experience and are available to start a new role, we’d love to hear from you.
