We want to build great communities, not just great homes. You’ll help us make it happen.
At Teign Housing, we’re passionate about giving our residents the best possible homes and our team the best and most flexible careers. Our culture of agile working means our 110 people enjoy an exceptional work-life balance, with the option of spending much of their time based at home. We believe giving you choice over when, where and how you work will improve both your wellbeing and your performance – creating a win-win situation for you, for us and for the thousands of people who rely on us.
About the Finance Assistant role
At the heart of our small Finance team, you will provide comprehensive support to your colleagues as you resolve telephone queries, manage correspondence, update the sales and purchase ledgers and record bank transactions. At the same time, you will set up new direct debits, adjust rents and charges, administer and pay utility bills and process housing benefit, maintaining the highest levels of accuracy in everything you do.
About you
This position offers a steep and satisfying learning curve, so you will need some previous experience in administration and customer service plus a strong interest in accounting. Familiarity with cash books, banking and sales and purchase ledgers would naturally be useful, but we will provide full training if required. Most importantly, you will be highly numerate, effective under pressure and able to multitask effectively, and you will share our passion for delivering great customer service and enhancing the lives of our tenants.
