🌟 Love numbers, people, and heritage? This role has it all! 🌟

Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott in the Scottish Borders, is one of Scotland’s most important heritage sites, one hour south of Edinburgh by road and rail. Abbotsford was designed and built by Sir Walter Scott as both his home and the location for his extensive collection of books and historical memorabilia, first opened to the public in 1833, and continuing to inspire visitors to this day.

The Finance & Administration Assistant will play a key role in supporting the Trust’s Finance, Administration and HR functions, as well as providing general office administration. This varied role includes processing financial transactions, maintaining ledgers, supporting HR processes, and assisting with day-to-day office tasks. It’s an excellent opportunity to join a small, friendly team in a unique heritage setting.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in finance and HR administration, ideally with bookkeeping or accounting knowledge, and strong IT skills (Excel, Word, Outlook). Knowledge of Xero is desirable.

This isn’t just about spreadsheets (though you’ll love those too!). It’s about being part of something bigger: helping us safeguard one of Scotland’s most iconic heritage sites for future generations.
