Keep the business moving behind the scenes

Are you organised, commercially minded and someone who enjoys keeping things running smoothly?

entrustIT is looking for a Purchasing & Finance Assistant to join its team in Ringwood, Hampshire.

This is a varied role combining purchasing, finance support and general business administration, giving you the opportunity to become a key part of the day-to-day operation.

Working closely with the Financial Controller and Purchasing Administrator, you’ll help manage purchasing activity across both our IT and Physical Infrastructure divisions, while supporting suppliers, billing, pricing and a range of wider administrative responsibilities.

If you’re naturally organised, confident communicating with people and take pride in getting the details right, this could be a great opportunity to build your career within a growing technology and infrastructure business.

What You’ll Be Doing

Your role will be varied, with purchasing at its heart. You’ll be responsible for:

Processing purchasing requests across both divisions
Liaising with suppliers and handling supplier bills and pricing
Supporting client-related billing, pricing and transactions
Chasing suppliers and dealing with purchasing queries
Providing finance and general administrative support
Managing paper records and company documentation
Ordering office supplies and other business requirements
Supporting administration such as advertising, signage, staff uniforms and DBS/CRB checks
Liaising with landlords and contractors regarding building maintenance
Supporting trading platform and purchasing portal administration
Helping maintain accurate records and documentation
What We’re Looking For

You don’t need to be an expert in everything from day one. We’re looking for someone with a can-do attitude, excellent attention to detail and the confidence to get things done.

You’ll ideally have:

Experience working in a commercial environment
Strong organisational and administrative skills
A methodical and detail-focused approach
Good written and verbal communication skills
A friendly and professional telephone manner
The ability to solve problems and handle queries calmly
Confidence using IT systems and online platforms
The ability to work independently once you understand the task
The ability to manage deadlines and prioritise effectively
GCSE Maths and English (or equivalent) at Grade C/4 or above
Experience with purchasing portals, trading platforms, finance systems or bookkeeping would be an advantage, but training can be provided where required.
An accounting or bookkeeping qualification would an advantage but we may also consider an accounting assistant apprenticeship for the right candidate
Why Join entrustIT?

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants variety, responsibility and the chance to become an important part of a busy commercial team.

Rather than being limited to one area, you’ll gain exposure to purchasing, finance, suppliers, clients and general business operations — making this a role where you can continually develop your skills.

The package includes:

£27,500–£30,000, depending on experience

Based in Ringwood, Hampshire
