About the Role

If you enjoy being at the heart of a business, thrive on variety, and want to see the real impact of your work, this could be the perfect role for you.

At VA Business Services, how we work matters just as much as what we do. We are a vibrant, people-centred business passionate about making a difference through employee engagement, leadership development, and training. Our values – Making a Difference, Trusted, Creative and Vibrant – shape everything we do.

We’re looking for two highly organised, proactive individuals to join our team in a varied and hands-on role combining bookkeeping, payroll, accounts support, and involvement in marketing and events. Together, these roles will provide full week coverage for the business.

The Role – No Two Days Are the Same

This is a diverse role where you’ll play a key part in keeping the business running smoothly while supporting its continued growth.

You’ll be just as comfortable working on client accounts and processing payrolls as you are supporting marketing campaigns and helping deliver events.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys responsibility, has a strong eye for detail, and brings energy and ideas to their work.

You will ideally have:

• AAT Level 2 qualification (essential).
• At least 2 years’ commercial bookkeeping experience.
• Some payroll experience (training can be provided if needed).
• Strong organisational and time management skills.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• A confident and friendly communication style.

Additional Requirements

• Full UK driving licence.

• Experience or understanding of the countryside/farming sector is advantageous.

Why Join Us?

This isn’t just another bookkeeping role – it’s an opportunity to be part of a business where your contribution genuinely shapes what we do next.

• Be part of a growing, Yorkshire-based business with a clear vision.
• Work closely with a supportive and collaborative team.
• Gain exposure across finance, operations, marketing, and events.
• Opportunity to develop your role and grow your career.
