Apprentice Financial Services Assistant

Job summary

This role is a generic apprentice role within the Trust's financial accounts function. Therefore the purpose of the role is to assist in a number of aspects of the finance function's work.

It is hoped that the successful post holder will study for a Level 3 Business Administration Apprenticeship (Trust funded) and at the end of the 21 month apprenticeship, they will be in a position to be successful at applying for a substantive role within Financial Services.

The successful post holder does not need to have any detailed knowledge of working in accounts or accounting, but they need to be confident in working with numbers.

Main duties of the job

• Help ensure suppliers of goods and services to the Trust are paid within current payment terms and that queries are resolved on a timely basis.
• Action requests to raise invoices for monies due to the Trust as required, in accordance with financial procedures and instructions.
• Assist in chasing outstanding debts with both internal NHS and external customer.
• Help with providing a cashier service to the trust.
• Work closely with SBS (Shared Business Services) colleagues to ensure a synchronised seamless service.
• As more routine tasks will have been passed to SBS the post holders will need to focus on non-routine work specifically dealing with and resolving items that do not simply pass through the automated payment and sales systems.
