Job vacancy: *BOOK-KEEPING / PAYROLL / OFFICE MANAGER.*

Your main duties will be book-keeping, and payroll. Hours negotiable and flexible, most likely part-time, but could be full-time, depending on the scope of what you take on. The base workload would likely be approx 10 – 20 hours per week, but depending on your skills / needs / experience, there are other roles and duties in the firm that we could potentially train you for as well, to boost-up your hours if required. The payroll is run weekly, which means regularity on that, and logging the likes of customer payments, is necessary, albeit other staff can cover the payroll occasionally. VAT returns are quarterly. We use SAGE software, as well as other systems.

The most important qualification is the kind of person you are, but it’s also vitally important that you have a positive, honest and productive work ethic. You should be able to touch-type, understand how to use computers & spreadsheets, have a methodical approach to your work, and an eye for detail. Previous relevant experience (e.g. with accounting software) preferred, but training will be provided.

You will be working from our operations base at 5a Gremista Industrial Estate, Lerwick. You will report to our Director, and communicate with our accountants to ensure the likes of periodic tax and Company submissions are completed accurately and on-time.

Competitive remuneration, commensurate with ability / experience / performance. Our company pension is NEST ethical.

If you’re interested, send an email to [email protected], and/or send us your CV, and/or complete and return one of our generic application forms.

We are considering applications as they arrive, so the sooner you can get your application in, the better. We look forward to hearing from you.

"Shetland Grasscutting" has been using Groundleader to administer our operation online, since early 2017 (and its predecessors since 2008). We simply couldn't run our firm safely and efficiently without a system like this. I can remember what it was like trying to manage complex schedules many moons ago, before we started using software - *shudder*. Computers undeniably come in handy sometimes - anything that means less time spent on admin, can only be a good thing!! 😁👍

Scheduling and logging work, and raising invoices, are *NOT* exactly the most thrilling activities! 😬😆😂 We decided many years ago we'd *MUCH* rather be doing other things, like going to the beach with the family, seeing friends, and actually 'managing' rather than wasting time merely 'administering'. So, we designed a system to achieve this; "Less admin - mower profit!" Ah-ha-ha-ha, see what we did there. Ahem. If you too would like to improve your profits, and reclaim your life from an endless cycle of tedious admin, then perhaps Groundleader is what you need. :) https://groundleader.com/

Word of warning to the unwary - the public roads will be very icy tonight folks. The rain has washed the salt off the surface, so ice is now setting up. Drive slow and careful, and make it home in one piece!
