SOC 2421 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £49,200, and Warburtons is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 4122 (Book-keepers, payroll managers and wages clerks, Assistant management accountant title and studying AAT/CIMA suggests bookkeeping-level work) or SOC 1131 (Financial managers and directors, Line management of two and deputising for Finance Manager could indicate management). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
About the role
The Recipe
Working alongside the Finance Manager, you will have good knowledge and understanding of management accounting. By translating financial performance to non-financial colleagues within Manufacturing and Distribution, you will provide actionable insight to support decisions and keep performance on track.
The Role
You will act as the finance expert at our Bakery 41 site in Wakefield, taking responsibility for managing site finances, including variance analysis and balance sheet reporting. You will also support the Finance Manager with capital expenditure, forecasting, and budgeting activities, and deputise for the Finance Manager in their absence.
As part of the wider operations finance team, you will collaborate with colleagues across a network of bakeries and depots, contribute to national projects, and provide cover and support for peers when required.
You will champion continuous improvement, both personally through progression towards your financial qualification and professionally by driving efficiencies in financial processes. A key element of the role involves using your strong communication skills to build and maintain effective relationships with internal and external stakeholders across the business.
This role also includes line management responsibilities for a small, dedicated team of two. You will play an important role in guiding and supporting team members, ensuring strong collaboration, development, and performance.
Essential Ingredients
- Desire to develop professionally, ideally studying or looking to study AAT, CIMA or equivalent
- A passion for data with the ability to interpret results, clearly communicating and ensuring understanding of both finance and non-finance colleagues
- Experience supporting budgets, cost control and variance analysis
- Able to deputise for site leadership while acting as a trusted, hands-on adviser - confidently engaging across all levels, communicating financial insights clearly to non-finance colleagues, and contributing proactively to day-to-day site operations.
