• KP Pension Plan – contribution matching up to 7% of your salary

• 25 days holiday, plus the option to buy more

• KP4ME – our online platform for benefits, discounts, wellbeing tools and more

• Learning support to help you progress with your ACCA or CIMA qualification

What will you be doing?

• Manage core financial processes: Prepare and deliver all period‑end requirements accurately, while maintaining strong financial controls across all cost lines.

• Provide performance insight: Partner with your Line Manager to review monthly results, clearly articulating variances against budget and supporting data‑driven decisions.

• Own and maintain financial models: Lead the upkeep and development of key financial models used by stakeholders, ensuring they remain accurate, consistent and reliable.

• Lead planning and control activities: Oversee forecasting and budgeting cycles, support both internal and external audits, and reinforce controls to minimise financial risk.

• Drive cost‑efficiency and continuous improvement: Validate cost‑saving initiatives, identify new efficiency opportunities, track commodity usage against contractual commitments, and continuously enhance reporting processes.
