Finance Officer - Receiveables

at  Abri

We’re excited to be looking for a new Finance Officer to join our team for 12 months.
We are currently working on projects related to streamlining the workflows due to the recent systems integration and this role will be an integral part of ensuring that the best practices are adopted for each task whilst maintaining service levels to our customers.
No two days will be the same in this role so enthusiasm, a can-do attitude, methodical thinking and a genuine passion for always wanting to go the extra mile will be essential as you’ll take ownership of your role by making sure all rent receipts and all non-rent receipts, miscellaneous income and debtors ledgers are registered on tenants accounts accurately and efficiently.
You’ll be an ambassador for Abri to internal and external customers alike so professionalism, politeness and a genuine desire to go above and beyond will all be musts.
We’re a small, friendly team of 7 spread between Eastleigh and Yeovil. The workload is varied and each of us are assigned specific tasks on set days. We are really flexible and often swap tasks if needed to help out other members of the team so being a team player and having a ‘can do’ attitude to work is a must.
We’re looking for someone who’s pro-active, have an eye for detail and the ability to process high volume data and good written and verbal communication skills.
Ideally you’ll have understanding of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and how to apply the principles.
If you want the opportunity to join a team as committed as you are and want to make sure our customers continue to receive a service second to none, we want to hear from you!
We offer flexible working, so you can work from home and collaborate with colleagues in person at least three times a week at one of our offices in Eastleigh (SO50 6AD), Horndean (PO8 9NN), Bracknell (RG12 1RF), or Yeovil (BA22 8WN).
Abri is a large housing provider who own and manage over 50,000 homes and various community assets, serving 114,000 customers. Silva Homes joined Abri in October 2023 making the group a financially stronger and more resilient organisation. To help deliver our services Abri work with 36 local authorities and 63 different parliamentary constituencies alongside partners in our community.
Silva will operate as a separate legal entity under the Abri Group umbrella before fully transferring in 2024.
We believe everyone has the right to a good quality safe, warm and sustainable home in a community where they can belong, grow and thrive. What does that look like in real terms?

We’re investing £689m over the next ten years in our existing homes to improve building safety and make them more energy efficient.

• We’re delivering 10,000 homes by 2030, ensuring affordable housing is built where it’s needed most
• We’re investing in our communities, to address local issues and create opportunities for everyone

As we grow, we’re re-establishing our strong local presence to provide a really good service. Abri has adopted a regional approach to service delivery, with our operating areas split into three, each with their local governance and leadership. This will ensure our colleagues are more visible, accountable and better connected to our customers and local communities to meet their diverse needs.
