Part-time Administration Assistant

Administration Assistant

It starts with you!

Some people think being an accountant is all about numbers. Here at Haines Watts, we don't! We believe it's all about our people and the relationships they forge with one another, as well as with our clients. We've been around for 90 years, so we must know a thing or two!

Our clients come from all walks of life. They have different backgrounds, experiences, talents, skills and goals. Just like our people.

So, we have a question for you: are you looking for a job that's just about the numbers? Or do you want a career where your potential, your ambition and your curiosity are encouraged, nurtured and rewarded?

At Haines Watts, there's no limit to what you can achieve. We'll give you support, opportunity and exposure to a wide variety of work and clients across different industries. It's up to you what you make of it!
