Part-Time Senior Bookkeeper / Accounts Administrator

Approximately 25 hours per week

Overview

Lockley Homes is a small, family-run housebuilder specialising in high-quality residential developments. We are looking for an experienced and reliable Part-Time Bookkeeper / Accounts Administrator to join our friendly, close-knit team.

This is a practical, hands-on role, primarily involving the entry and processing of purchase invoices using Xero. There will also be some general bookkeeping, account reconciliation and assistance with basic budget forecasting and financial reports.

The position may suit an experienced finance professional who is now looking for a less demanding, part-time role but would still enjoy using their knowledge and experience within a small business.

We are based in a rural location near Himbleton, Droitwich, so the role will be office-based and applicants will need their own transport.

Main duties

• Entering and accurately coding purchase invoices onto Xero
• Maintaining the purchase ledger and ensuring records are complete and up to date
• Matching invoices to the relevant developments, suppliers and cost categories
• Checking supplier statements and investigating any discrepancies
• Assisting with supplier payment runs
• Carrying out bank and account reconciliations
• Responding to straightforward supplier account queries
• Maintaining organised financial records and supporting documentation
• Assisting with basic budget monitoring and forecasting
• Producing simple reports and financial information for the Directors when required
• Liaising with the company’s accountants and providing information as needed
• Providing general accounts and administrative support to the business

The majority of the role will involve processing and entering invoices, so applicants should be comfortable undertaking routine, detail-focused work as well as occasionally assisting with broader financial tasks.

Skills and experience

• Previous bookkeeping, purchase ledger or general accounts experience
• A good working knowledge of Xero
• Strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy
• Confidence processing a regular volume of purchase invoices
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage your own workload
• Comfortable working independently as part of a small team
• A practical and flexible approach, with a willingness to help where required
• Good communication skills when dealing with colleagues, suppliers and external accountants
• Experience within construction, housebuilding or property would be helpful but is not essential
• Previous experience of budgets or financial forecasting would be advantageous

Working arrangements

• Approximately 25 hours per week
• Some flexibility regarding the days and hours worked
• Office-based position
• Rural location near Droitwich
• Own transport essential due to the location
• Salary circa £25,000

We offer a friendly and informal working environment within a small family business. This would be an ideal opportunity for someone with solid finance experience who is looking for a stable, flexible and hands-on part-time role.
