Full Job Description
Due to internal promotion, we have an exciting opportunity for a Finance Officer known to Guide Dogs as an Accounts Receivable Clerk to join our Finance Team on a FTC basis until the end of June 2025. This is a full-time role, Monday to Friday, with flexibility to work in a way that is best for you, with at least 2/3 days a week attending our Reading Hub in Burghfield. The ideal individual will have a background in finance/accounts and a drive to make a positive impact. It is a really exciting time to join our Finance Team as we embark on our new Guide Dogs strategy. This role helps people with sight loss to live the life they choose by ensuring all income processing, banking and credit control functions are carried out appropriately. No two people with sight loss are the same, and none of our people are either. So, we are proud to offer a range of person-centred provisions that can support each member of staff in ways that really mean something to them - and show them how much they mean to us.
