º£½ÇÉçÇø

Since graduating from Sheffield Hallam, I have spent my working career in a number of varied roles and industries from SEN Teaching Assistant to IT Project Manager. Most recently my time has been spent learning the intricacies of running a small business which exposed me to the world of finance and led me to join the º£½ÇÉçÇø of Sheffield at the start of 2024.

I currently work across two departments in Information School and the School of Education. As a Finance Assistant, my role is to support the day to day finance activities and assist the Finance Officers in both departments.

Responsibilities

• Carry out purchasing and invoicing activities within the Departments (raising requisitions, purchase orders and internal trade orders and dealing with suppliers).

• Process staff expenses and non-staff claims within the set deadlines following the Department’s and º£½ÇÉçÇø approval procedures, and ensuring all necessary paperwork is supplied and claims are within the º£½ÇÉçÇø’s Financial Regulations. Liaising with individual claimants, as required.

• Maintain financial processes for the department, ensuring these are fit for purpose, meet Department and º£½ÇÉçÇø requirements and comply with internal and external scrutiny and audit.
