Accounts Assistant (3272)
We develop and run villages with the wow factor that enhance the lives of our owners, their family and their friends. Through our three brands, Mayfield Villages, Elysian Residences and Audley Villages, we offer stylish apartments and houses complete with the best facilities from bistros and bars, to health clubs and swimming pools. And, of course, exceptional service throughout. What's more, through our dedicated care teams we provide owners as well as customers out in the local community with the support they need to remain independent. It's retirement, but not as the UK has known it.
Audley has attracted equity investment from a wide range of sources, which, when combined with debt funding and recycled sales proceeds, has fuelled a dynamic site acquisition program.
