Finance Assistant (Business Partnering)

Job Introduction

Are you a numbers whizz with a passion for problem-solving and storytelling through data? Do you love collaborating with colleagues and being part of a supportive team that gets things done together? If so, we’ve got just the role for you!

We’re on the lookout for a Finance Assistant (Business Partnering) to join our fab finance team. You’ll be working alongside our brilliant Finance Business Partners to help us make smart decisions, plan for the future, and bring our financial story to life.

We believe work is something you do, not somewhere you go so if you want to work for a company who are truly flexible and where you are valued then this could be the role for you!

What we’re all about

You can probably already tell that we’re not your typical housing provider! With around 20,000 homes (and more in the pipeline), we’re on track with our growth plan to build 8,000 new homes across Yorkshire. 

We’re dedicated to creating exceptional customer experiences along the way and are on a mission to build a culture that prioritises excellence, innovation, and customer obsession.  

What will you be doing?

You’ll be diving into a variety of exciting tasks, working hand-in-hand with both finance and operational teams to explore what’s really driving our performance. From building financial models and digging into data to support smart decision-making, to helping shape our monthly finance reports so they’re clear and useful for everyone – you’ll be right at the heart of it all. 

You’ll also get involved in projects around cost management and investment appraisals, while supporting our budgeting, forecasting, and long-term planning. And along the way, you’ll be building great relationships across the business and making sure our numbers tell a story that everyone can understand.
