Credit Controller - 12 Month FTC (Maternity Cover)

If you’re a confident Credit Controller who thrives on building relationships and isn’t afraid to pick up the phone, this could be a brilliant opportunity to step into a well-established role within a growing construction business. This position is a 12-month fixed-term contract to cover maternity leave, giving you the chance to take ownership of a fully functioning ledger with a comprehensive handover from someone who has been in the role for the past five years.

This role would suit someone who enjoys being hands-on and adaptable, comfortable working in a fast-paced, down-to-earth environment where communication is key and things don’t always follow a perfect process.

*Maintaining accurate and up-to-date account records
*Working closely with internal teams to resolve discrepancies
*Ensuring consistent follow-ups and keeping on top of aged debt
*Supporting cash flow by driving collections and reducing overdue balances
*Managing priorities effectively in a fast-paced, reactive environment

What we need from you
*Confident and proactive communicator who enjoys being on the phone
*Strong relationship-building skills with a professional but personable approach
*Organised and able to manage your own workload independently
*Resilient and comfortable working in a busy, fast-moving environment
*Diligent with excellent attention to detail when tracking and following up debt
*Previous experience in Credit Control or a similar finance role

Benefits
*12-month FTC with a strong handover period for a smooth transition
*Flexible working pattern – 4 days in the office, 1 day from home
*Early finish every Friday (half day)
*Opportunity to take ownership of a well-run ledger and shape the role
