Job Title: Accounts Assistant
We’re looking for a driven, detail-focused Accounts Assistant to join our collaborative finance team in Glossop. Based in our newly refurbished offices near the Peak District, this hands-on role offers variety across both sales and purchase ledger tasks. If you're methodical, proactive and thrive on accuracy; whether reconciling accounts, managing payments, or supporting audits, this is a great opportunity to grow your finance career in a fast-paced, product-led business.
We’re Purpose-Driven. Since 1984, we’ve grown to become the largest in our sector and we’ve carried the same spirit with us every step of the way. We’re proud of our diverse, passionate team and the way we collaborate to make things happen. Our carefully crafted rugs are the centrepieces that bring rooms and people together. And that togetherness is the very essence of who we are.
You’ll Grow With Us. This role offers a solid foundation in finance with plenty of room to expand your skillset - from stock reconciliation to credit control. Whether you're pursuing your accountancy qualifications, deepening your accounting experience or broadening your operational knowledge, we’ll support your development every step of the way.
Your Voice Matters. We love people who take initiative and care about getting things right. If you’re someone who enjoys solving problems, staying organised and being part of a team that works hard and has fun doing it, you’ll thrive here.
