Are you looking for an opportunity to join an established client with ambitious growth plans?
Your role will be initially for a fixed 6-month contract but comes with genuine opportunities for longer-term prospects too.
Before we look at what you’ll be doing, let’s cut to the good stuff….
What’s on offer?
This client is on an exciting growth journey, having recently relocated their finance function, in the next few years they are targeting a 100%+ increase in turnover. Your role in the Credit Control function will be pivotal to ensuring the relationships with customers are developed and that the business maintains a healthy cash flow. In addition to a competitive salary, there’s a range of great benefits on offer such as a 10% combined pension, life assurance, a flexible buy/sell holiday scheme (25 + BH standard) some hybrid working and many additional discounts on those everyday life perks such as holidays, car leasing and discounts on restaurants/cinemas etc.
Sound appealing? If so, here’s what you’ll be doing.
Reporting to the Accounts Receivable Manager, you will be asked to maintain an assigned section of their receivables ledger to ensure the collection of outstanding debts in line with company expectations
- Maintain effective and regular communication with customers via phone and email to ensure all debts are kept to a minimum
- Collect targeted debts within the company expectations

What do you need to bring to the table?
The great news is you don't need years and years of experience. The right attitude to learning is just as important as Credit Control experience. Of course, if you have some experience of dealing with customers/customer accounts in an office/business environment it'll help. As would a little Credit Control experience but our client is happy to invest in the right person, what they can't teach is the "can do" attitude and a positive mindset and willingness to be taught something new.
Our client is ready to onboard you during July, potentially early Aug (if you're finishing off another assignment at present).
Not sure or would like to know more before you apply, just get in touch and we will be happy to discuss it further with you.
