We are partnering with a global power solutions and engineering leader in their search for an Accounts Receivable Assistant. This is an initial 6-month temporary role based in Darlington, offering a hybrid working model (on average 3 days per week onsite) and a pay rate of £13.47 per hour (PAYE), with potential for assignment extension or permanent conversion for the right candidate.

The Role:

Joining the Business Services team, you will temporarily assist the AR team in managing European ledgers and maintaining standardised collection processes.

Process Improvement: Fully participate in continuous improvement projects related to Accounts Receivable workflows and controls.
Team Support: Work as a key member of a multi-skilled team, covering additional team responsibilities and general admin tasks as required.
