About the role
NEW OPPORTUNITY ALERT | CREDIT CONTROL CLERK | CASTLE DONINGTON | HYBRID
Looking for a Credit Control role where you can take ownership of your own ledger, build customer relationships and have a real impact on cash collection?
I am recruiting for a Credit Control Clerk to join an established Accounts Receivable team within a wider Group Finance function.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on, likes seeing things through to resolution and wants to build their experience in a varied, customer-focused role.
WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY STANDS OUT
Your own portfolio: Take responsibility for allocated customer accounts and build a strong understanding of your ledger.
Variety: A good mix of cash collection, reconciliations, query resolution, account maintenance and credit risk.
Ownership: Manage your workload, make decisions within agreed authority and see issues through from start to finish.
Customer interaction: Build professional relationships with customers and internal stakeholders, working closely with Customer Service, Sales and Finance.
Wider business exposure: Support multiple business entities, gaining exposure to different processes and customer accounts.
Systems experience: Work with an ERP System following a recent system transition, with opportunities to build your knowledge and contribute to effective working practices.
Working pattern: Hybrid working, with 3 days in the office and 2 days from home, plus flexitime and free parking.
THE ROLE WILL INVOLVE
- Proactive cash collection and chasing overdue debt.
- Managing and maintaining your allocated debtor ledger.
- Investigating queries, discrepancies and deductions, resolving issues at source wherever possible.
- Customer account reconciliations, payment commitments and monthly statements.
- Monitoring credit risk, credit limits and credit holds.
- Working with internal teams to prevent delays to payment and improve processes.
- Maintaining accurate records and ensuring outstanding items are followed through.
WHO WOULD SUIT THIS?
Someone with Credit Control experience who is organised, tenacious and target-driven, with strong communication skills and excellent attention to detail.
You will enjoy taking ownership, be comfortable dealing with customers and colleagues, and have good Excel skills.
Experience with a modern ERP system, EDI and supplier portals would be beneficial. CICM or relevant credit management training would also be welcomed, but the main focus is on strong Credit Control fundamentals, ledger ownership and customer service.

Location: Castle Donington, Derbyshire
Salary: Up to £28,000 depending on experience
Contract: Permanent
Hours: 37 hours per week
Working pattern: Hybrid, 3 days office / 2 days home
