This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced accountant looking to make a tangible impact in a unique and respected family-run organisation. Please note the role is located on a rural estate so you must be able to drive to work, and the role is essentially on site albeit with a little flexibility.
This will suit someone looking for a long term, stable role in a small tight knit team.
