Finance Assistant (Grade 6 SCP 9-15 - £20,903 FTE – £23,541 FTE)

21 hours per week

Are you our perfect (finance) fit?

At WME we advocate, build and champion people centred organisations for a resilient and diverse public sector workforce.

We are a not-for-profit public sector organisation owned by the local authorities of the West Midlands.  We work at the heart of local government supporting Councils in their role as employers, and we also deliver a wide and varied range of products and services including recruitment (including WMJobs.co.uk), HR services, leadership and development, OD and coaching and mentoring.

We have a fantastic team of 20 staff and whilst we may be small in size - we are big on ambition! Our culture is open, friendly, supportive and innovative.  Our reputation is built on a commitment and passion for the highest quality of customer focused services and we are proud to be part of the local government family with a workforce of over 116,00 people. 

You will be joining WME at an exciting time as we embed ‘new ways of working’ following the Pandemic. We are working more flexibly; mixing some homeworking with time spent in our modern collaboration hub, where we can come together as a team or drop in to work within an office environment.  We are excited by the new opportunities ahead and what this means for the services we provide to our councils, who are also transforming how they work.  

This finance role is a key part of our corporate team and will require you to work across the whole team and all our service strands.  So, ideally we are looking for someone with lots of experience of working within a financial role set in a small or medium sized organisation, as we value the wider business knowledge that you will have gained from this type of role.

If WME sounds like your kind of organisation, if you have the type of experience and skills we need, if you relish a busy role, love problem solving and get a buzz from meeting deadlines, then we really want to hear from you as you could be a perfect fit for #teamWME.



Finance Assistant – 21 hours per week

This is a part time role in a busy team and you will be working closely with our Finance Team Leader and Assistant Director Finance & Governance as well as colleagues in the wider business support team. You will provide a full range of financial services across our organisation with responsibility for purchase ledger. You will have a keen eye for service improvement opportunities, be self-motivated, a problem solver, work effectively to tight deadlines and be committed to high quality customer service in an innovative organisation.



Application closing date is 5pm Wednesday 31st March 2021 and an assessment centre interview will take place at our premises in Willenhall on Friday 23rd April. 

This will include an in-tray exercise, an informal chat with a staff panel, and a formal interview.

Please note: We anticipate a high level of interest for this role so this advert will be closed as soon as sufficient quality applications are received. We therefore strongly advise that you complete and return your application as soon as possible.
