Finance Assistant - Temp to Perm

Who we are 

Our mission is to transform how healthcare organisations work together with their workforce. Our Connected Scheduling™ platform connects healthcare organisations and their staff giving them more autonomy and control on how and when they work. Over 50% of UK GP practices use Lantum, and over 30% of UK hospitals rely on Lantum workforce products. We have developed a completely new approach to scheduling staff using AI to balance the vast amounts of complexities in workforce scheduling and we have seen game-changing results. We have not only saved millions for the NHS, but we have countless stories of how we have improved the lives of clinicians who, for the first time, are able to plan their work lives around their personal lives. 

What sets us apart is not only our leading edge technology and approach to innovation, it’s our culture and our strength of mission. Our incredible team is the driving force behind our success and this propels our competitive edge. We are diverse (10+ nationalities and 53% female workforce), we are authentic and true to ourselves, we are creative and focused and we work hard together to change our industry. Our team is supported to deliver their best work with clear career progression and a strong feedback culture. 

We have a bright and modern office which you can work from throughout the week and 3 core office days per week (Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday) where the whole team comes together.

About the role 

Are you early in your finance career and looking to gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced, supportive environment? We're looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Finance Assistant to join our team on an initial 6-month temp-to-perm basis.

This is a varied and development-focused role that touches on all key areas of finance, from accounts payable and receivable to clinician payments and month-end support.

You'll play a crucial part in ensuring our finance operations run smoothly, contributing to accurate financial reporting and process improvements that support the wider business. This is a great opportunity to learn, grow, and take on new responsibilities as our company evolves.

Responsibilities

As Finance Assistant, you’ll support day-to-day finance operations, including:

• Accounts Receivable: Allocating receipts, uploading bank statements, chasing remittances, responding to customer queries, raising customer invoices and managing invoice adjustments.
• Clinician Payments: Handling daily and twice weekly payment runs, managing ledgers, and reconciling outgoing payments.
• Accounts Payable: Processing supplier invoices and staff expenses, managing internal spends, and ensuring accurate coding and VAT treatment.
• Month-End Support: Completing bank reconciliations, supporting month end close, and P&L reviews.
• Finance Admin: Maintaining process documentation, handling post and filing, and assisting with ad hoc finance projects.
• Process Improvement: Working with the team to streamline workflows and adopt new tools and systems as we grow.

Requirements

About you - We’ll be looking for

• Around 1 year of experience in a broad finance or accounting role is desirable, though less will be considered
• Interest in working towards a recognised accounting qualification (e.g. CIMA, ACCA, AAT)
• Good understanding of basic finance principles, including double entry, reconciliations, and invoicing
• Comfortable working across a variety of finance tasks, with strong attention to detail and a proactive, can-do attitude
• Good working knowledge of Excel and Google Sheets - able to use formulas and work confidently with large datasets

Interview process 

• Introductory Interview with the Hiring Manager: This is a conversation with the hiring manager. It’s an opportunity for us to learn more about your background and for you to ask any initial questions about the role and Lantum. This stage also includes elements of a first-round interview to explore your experience in more depth.
• Challenge Interview: In this practical stage, you’ll be given a scenario or problem to solve that reflects real aspects of the role. It’s designed to showcase how you apply your skills in context. You’ll complete this practical challenge, followed by a short discussion about your approach and insights with a small group of stakeholders.
• Values Interview: You’ll meet a few more members of the team to discuss how your approach aligns with Lantum’s values. This stage typically includes competency-based questions, and it’s also your chance to ask about team culture and what it’s like to work at Lantum day-to-day.

• See it thru: We’re constantly looking for excellence. We take pride in planning and execution of all types of work, and we’re not deterred by bumps in the road or adversity. When we see obstacles, we relish the challenge and keep going.
• Think around corners: We always stay ahead of the curve. All of us share a responsibility to challenge the status quo, think outside of the box, turn problems on their head and turn weaknesses into strengths.
• Bounce back & learn: Being brave, taking risks and trying new things. It’s better to take risks and learn from them and being open to changing from what you learned is what makes us successful.
