Finance Assistant (Part-time, maternity cover)

Teddington | 17.5 hours per week | Flexible working hours | Office-based | October start

Looking for a part-time role that fits around school runs and family life?

We’re Motionspot – a purpose-led inclusive design company based in the heart of Teddington – and we’re looking for a friendly and detail-oriented Finance Assistant to support our team during a period of maternity leave starting in October.

Whether you're returning to work, need hours that fit around other responsibilities, or simply want to be part of a company that’s doing meaningful work, we’d love to hear from you.

​

Why join us?

​At Motionspot, we design inclusive, beautiful spaces that transform lives. From offices to hotels and public buildings, we create places that are accessible, welcoming, and stylish for everyone – regardless of age, disability, neurodiversity, or background. We’re proud to be one of the UK’s leading inclusive design studios.

​

The role:

As our Finance Assistant, you’ll play a key role in keeping our finances running smoothly. Reporting to our Finance Controller, you’ll be involved in a range of day-to-day tasks that help support the wider business.

​

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing customer invoicing and supplier payments
• Preparing payroll and reconciling bank transactions
• Handling VAT returns and pension contributions
• Processing staff expenses
• Using finance software (Xero) and Excel for financial tasks and reports
• General bookkeeping and admin support to the finance team

Who we’re looking for:

You’ll be a good fit if you:

• Have previous finance or bookkeeping experience
• Are comfortable using systems like Xero and Microsoft Excel
• Are organised, accurate, and trustworthy with confidential data
• Communicate clearly and professionally with colleagues and suppliers
• Enjoy being part of a small, friendly team
• Have good time management skills and like working independently​

This role is perfect for someone looking for flexible working hours – for example, to fit around school drop-offs or term-time commitments. We’re happy to discuss how your 17.5 hours a week could be spread across the week.

​

What we offer:

• A competitive salary, depending on experience, plus bonus scheme
• Flexible working hours (part-time)
• 25 days’ holiday (pro rata) plus bank holidays
• Company pension scheme
• A welcoming, inclusive studio space in central Teddington
• Secure bike storage, showers, and a subsidised on-site café
• A chance to make a real impact in a growing, purpose-driven business
