Finance Assistants

Jobs Guarantee will involve a significant volume of financial activity, including employer wage reimbursements, employer onboarding costs and grant-funded delivery costs.

We are looking for Finance Assistants to join the Wise Group Finance team and help ensure the programme is supported by accurate financial information, strong controls and clear supporting evidence.

As part of the Finance team, you will work closely with operational colleagues, Administration, Quality Improvement & Innovation, employers and delivery partners. Your role will be to provide effective financial administration and assurance across Jobs Guarantee while making sure financial records and programme activity align.

A significant part of the role will involve checking, reconciling and validating information across our Finance systems, CRM, employer records, bank transactions and supporting evidence.

You will need to be comfortable working with detail, spotting when something does not look right and following queries through to resolution.

Jobs Guarantee funding will include amounts received by the Wise Group and passed on to employers, alongside funding claimed against eligible actual delivery costs. Maintaining clear records and a strong audit trail across these different funding streams will therefore be an important part of the role.

This is a Finance role, and clear segregation of duties will be important.

Operational colleagues will be responsible for confirming participant activity, employment information and operational eligibility. Finance will use that approved information to validate financial claims, process payments, maintain financial controls and ensure expenditure and claims are supported by appropriate evidence.
