Assistant Accountant

£28.6k per annum

Are you ready to take the next step in your finance career while making a real difference to people’s lives?

At Path, we work alongside people facing homelessness to support them to secure and sustain accommodation and rebuild their futures. Our Finance team plays a vital role in ensuring the organisation runs smoothly and sustainably.

About the role

We’re looking for an experienced Finance Assistant or Accountants Assistant who’s ready to broaden their skills within a small, supportive and hands‑on finance team.

Working closely with our Senior Accountant, you’ll play a key role in the day‑to‑day running of the finance function. This is a varied role where you’ll get involved in:

  • Reconciliations and maintaining accurate financial records
  • Supporting month‑end processes
  • Helping to ensure strong financial controls
  • Pitching in with transactional processing when needed to keep everything moving

If you enjoy variety, like taking ownership of your work and want to develop your experience across a wider range of accounting activities, this role offers a great opportunity to grow.

About you

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has experience in a finance role (e.g. Finance Assistant or Accounts Assistant)
  • Has demonstrable experience beyond purely transactional processing, with exposure to broader finance or accounting tasks
  • Holds AAT Level 3 or has demonstrable practical financial experience

You’ll also be:

  • Organised, methodical and detail‑focused
  • A strong team player who’s happy to get stuck in
  • Confident communicating with colleagues across the organisation
  • Able to work flexibly in a busy and evolving environment

Why join Path?

  • Be part of an organisation with a clear social purpose and strong values
  • Work within a supportive, collaborative team
  • Gain broader exposure to finance within a meaningful and complex service environment
  • Know that your work directly contributes to improving lives in the local community

Benefits include

  • Generous holiday allowance
  • Flexible working
  • 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
  • Enhanced sick and maternity pay
  • Blue Light Card discounts
  • Ongoing learning and development
  • Cycle to work scheme

How to apply

Please complete our standard application form. If you prefer, you can submit a short video or audio statement covering the Individual Statement part of the form.

Equity, Inclusion and Belonging at Path

We’re dedicated to creating a workplace where everyone feels respected, valued and able to belong. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and are committed to equity and inclusion throughout our recruitment process. All personal information is handled sensitively and confidentially.

We actively encourage applications from people with direct lived experience of homelessness or related challenges.

Application Deadline: 9:00am, Monday 15th June
