Base pay range
We’re on the hunt for a skilled Management Accountant to join us on a Fixed Term Contract to take the lead in producing monthly financial results and balances. This key role involves managing the balance sheet reconciliation process and ensuring that month-end financial reports provide an accurate reflection of the underlying transactions. If you’re detail-oriented and confident working with financial systems and reporting, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
At Yorkshire Housing, we see work as something you do—not just a place you go. That’s why we’re proud to offer genuine flexibility and a culture where people feel supported and appreciated. It’s all part of creating a workplace that works for you.
What we’re all about
You might think of Yorkshire Housing as ‘just’ a housing provider, but we’re so much more than that. Yes, we own and manage nearly 20,000 homes (and counting) across Yorkshire and make it possible for current and future customers to have a place they’re proud to call home, but we’re also all about making a positive difference in people’s lives.
We’ve got big plans to overhaul the traditional customer service offer, build new homes that are truly future-proof and empower our people through flexibility and freedom to do their best work.
