Both businesses operate in manufacturing and engineering. This hands-on role suits someone who enjoys working independently, managing priorities and contributing beyond traditional bookkeeping.

About the Role

Working 30 hours per week across four days, you will provide accounts, purchasing and administration support to both businesses, using separate systems.
