About You
Do you like a finance role that feels like you’re really part of the business, not just working a spreadsheet? Do you like to get involved with other teams and really get to know how a business works? Does your ideal role offer you variety and the chance to collaborate while having a supportive team around you?
If that sounds like you, we would love to speak to you.
About the role
This role joins our finance team that supports our dispenser business, reporting to the Financial Accountant and working closely with them across the whole spectrum of financial accounting tasks: management accounts and reporting, invoicing, cost analysis, cash management, year end audits and everything else that a finance team gets involved in. BRITA is a collaborative business, and you’ll be working cross-functionally with service delivery, marketing and sales every day, exposing you to every part of how we work.
This is a Fixed term Contract (15 months) to provide maternity cover and we are aiming for a start date of February 2026 to allow for a good handover period. The role is based in Bicester at our UK head office, but will require some travel to Uxbridge until the end of March 2026 (this team is in the process of moving from Uxbridge to Bicester).
About BRITA
Here at BRITA we are at the forefront of sustainability and are passionate about changing the way people drink water. We are continuously striving to increase the efficiency and performance of our products with a primary focus to reduce our environmental impact!
BRITA are a forward thinking, family owned global business who care about our employees, creating career and advancement opportunities within an inclusive and diverse environment.
To be successful in this role
You’ll be organised and reliable, used to working to deadlines and already have experience in a broad finance role. A high level of attention to detail is a must, as are strong Excel skills (pivot tables and vlookups particularly). If you have or are studying towards AAT qualifications that would be great, but it isn’t essential as long as you have work experience in a finance team.
Collaboration and communication are absolutely at the heart of everything we do at BRITA, and this role is no exception as you will be working every day with teams across BRITA, so being willing to talk with colleagues in other teams and build relationships is a must.
What’s in it for you?
Annual salary of up to £32,500
23 days leave per annum (increases with service) + bank holidays
Free access to Employee Assistance programme
Employee discount + monthly staff allocation for BRITA
Excellent career advancement opportunities!
