Blackwood are looking for a part-qualified accountant on a 12-month fixed term basis with both the technical skills and ability to translate financial information to non-financial colleagues. Reporting to the Finance Manager and supporting our Housing & Assets business functions, this job role will be a critical support to Blackwood's ambitious development and innovation programme.

You're expected to be a self-starter with experience in both budgeting and presenting financial information in a user-friendly format. A keen eye for detail is important in ensuring our financial forecasts are accurate and drive colleagues to make the best decisions available to them.

Continually striving to improve methods and processes, you'll be part of the finance journey through Blackwood's Digital Plan. Your input will give you experience and understanding of system changes as well as the necessary behavioural shift.
