We’re partnering with a long-established, family-owned manufacturing business in Broxburn to recruit an Finance & Office Assistant to join their close-knit team.
This is an important, long-term hire. Initially, the successful candidate will work alongside the current Office Manager, supporting the smooth day-to-day operation of the office and finance function. Over time, as part of a planned handover, there is a clear pathway to progress into an Office & Finance Manager role, with responsibility for overseeing the full function and playing a key part in the running of the business.
